- flohofwoe 4y agoThis list is from the Cold War and all targets on German territory are in former socialist East Germany. West and East Germany was where World War 3 would have started, and it was kinda expected that all of Germany would essentially be turned into glass about 30 minutes after the war started. Both the Warsaw Pact and NATO had absolutely humongous military forces concentrated on both sides of the border (compared to today's European armies). I really hope the US could be bothered in the meantime to clean up their target list though ;)
- blibble 4y agowhy would the US attack its allies cities? East Germany was soviet
- flohofwoe 4y agoTo nitpick: Not "soviet" (as in "member of the Soviet Union"), but a souvereign socialist country^H^H^HSoviet puppet with Soviet military bases as well as its own armed forces, and founding member of the Warsaw Pact.
