It was interesting Reading. Like they stated, it one of those thing you thought about, and had to deal with. It was interesting to see in couple post that the Pact allied Air Force seem to think they would be thrown away at worse, or kept to safe areas.
Also I can see where they would think their ground units wouldn't be used since many of them had obsolete equipment. I still think these units would be press forward. Especially in Northern Germany after the start of the way. After the 3rd Shock Army had spent itself it wouldn't really matter how good the next string equipment was, they were only the their grind down what was left of what was there until the Soviet units from Baltics and Belorussia got to the front to continue to Channel.
Would it take them 36 hours, unlikely 10 days more realistic.
When and who would use nukes is something that will always be debated.
Thought of Soviet enlisted personnel shooting their officers and not going forward, well yeah it possibility but then they have to deal with the KGB and again very few enlisted personnel knew how to read maps and other things that where in the West they train on almost since basic training.
