NATO poised against formidable Red forces in Europe
Washington dispatch describes SHAPE and NATO officials warning that the Warsaw Pact, led by the Soviet Union, fields a formidable force with 217 ground divisions, a large navy, and a near total nuclear missile force. It notes Brahznev Doctrine influence, shifts in naval power since 1962, and questions over East-West unity, with Brandt’s Ostpolitik and French NATO status adding tension as NATO plans flexibly for potential limited conflicts in Europe.
