1968 · War Plan Against NATO

This map is an example of military planning logic concerning the Central European front during the Cold War. The confrontation between the Warsaw Pact and NATO was not only an ideological opposition; it was also shaped through force deployments, corridors of movement, target areas, and operational routes.

The map does not show that war was inevitable. It shows how European geography was read within the military planning world of the period. For this reason, the map is not treated here as a propaganda object, but as an archival evidence-object for examining crisis architecture and strategic assumptions.
