   I read it in the year the war was supposed to have taken place,   
   while I was doing national service in the Army.  I'm glad things   
   didn't turn out that way.   
      
   Among other things, Hacket gave the Bundeswehr fourteen divisions   
   it only had eleven in reality (due to his envisioned increase in   
   military pending).   
      
   What he got wrong was an assumed reluctance of Soviets to use   
   nuclear and chemical weapoins from the outset, see   
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Days_to_the_River_Rhine   
      
   So, the rather limited nuclear exchange would have been anything   
   but (including the nuclear destruction of Vienna, capital of a   
   neutral country).
