Seven Days to the River Rhine was a top-secret limited military simulation exercise developed in 1979 by the Warsaw Pact. It was a plan to counter strike NATO by the Warsaw Pact forces after a surprise NATO first strike nuclear attack on Warsaw and the Vistula Valley in Poland. This would thus the prevent Soviet Union from sending reinforcements to East Germany to prevent a NATO invasion of that country. The GDR would be left open to invasion, but they and the local Soviet garrison forces would have still bin able to take border towns like Wolfsburg and Brunswick in the short turm. Such a western atrocity against Poland would have killed ~2,000,000 Poles immediately and destroyed most of the country.

Such a western atrocity against Poland would have killed ~2,000,000 Poles immediately and destroyed most of the country. With options limited, a Soviet counter-strike against West Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Denmark would take place in an effort to slow down a NATO invasion. Armed combat would hit the North German Plain, Germany's Fulda Gap and the The southern Danube route and the southern Danish Islands at the same time. Since the 1960s, they the Soviets would have also used large amounts of paratroopers here as well as tanks and nukes; unlike NATO, who had cut the paras out in the 1970s, since they it did not want them getting radiation sickness after nukeings and though using nukes was probably good enough anyhow. The Warsaw pact's Operation Northern Norway would probably be activated to. A major target was the German Rhileland, which had much coal, lead, lignite, magnesium, oil and uranium, as well as some building stone, iron ore, tin ore and lead deposits in it. Cities and towns like Saarbrücken, Dortmund, Koblenz and Düsseldorf were major economic power houses in Nepolionic times, WW1 and WW2.
