World War Three seen through Soviet eyes

[Big Booger]

The nightmare of nuclear war in Europe - a spectre that haunted the world for half a century - stood revealed yesterday in terrible detail.

In a historic break with the past, Poland's newly elected government threw open its top secret Warsaw Pact military archives - including a 1979 map revealing the Soviet bloc's vision of a seven-day atomic holocaust between Nato and Warsaw Pact forces.

The defence minister, Radek Sikorsky, showed off the map at an emotional press conference.

Some scary sh1t there. That would have ended the world as we know it today for sure. I hope nothing like this ever happens... but who knows what will come in the future.

Interesting stuff BB, but it's all looking very political. ;)

I prefer pseudo-historical as the nomenclature. :D

I prefer pseudo-historical as the nomenclature. :D

I like pseudo-history too... in the same light as "What If" history of actual events, i like the golden age of science fiction... like, 21st century technology available in the 1930's and 40's ;)

It's a lot like Phillip K. Dick's "The Man in the High Castle":
