West proves military edge halting Soviet push says Gruenther
General Gruenther told the National Press Club the West is militarily strong enough today to deter a Soviet assault and avoid a poor East West settlement. He stressed air power as decisive but not sufficient to win a war alone and cited NATO’s four year defense gains. He projected Europe could be defended in 3 to 4 years if Germany contributes and atomic weapons can be used for deterrence.
