War nerves rise as Soviets plan East German maneuvers over West Berlin
The Soviet Union announced March maneuvers by Warsaw Pact forces in East Germany to echo West Germany’s March 5 presidential election in West Berlin. Tass said the location would be central or western German Democratic Republic regions, likely near the 11 miles west of the city corridor, with East German restrictions and saber rattling raising tensions. Heavy train and truck movements were reported in northwest Bohemia, while air corridors remain under occupation powers and Western leaders pledge support for West Germany’s election. Traffic slowdowns on autobahns followed stricter border checks amid ongoing snowstorms.
