WP units in China
The 1st edition timeline says that in the winter of 1995, the Soviet Union solicited the other WP member states to provide units to the Far Eastern Front and by the new year Polish, Czech and East German units were headed to China. Also, Hungarian and Bulgarian units would head east after re-equipping.
The 2nd edition Soviet Vehicle guide lists one Bulgarian brigade and one Polish division in the Far East, the Polish division in Manchuria and the Bulgarian brigade leaving the front lines and headed home.
Anyone have any ideas as to what Czech, East German and Hungarian units may been sent to fight the PRC?
1st edition East German units in China is an interesting thing. Would they stay loyal to the Soviets and Warsaw Pact when their comrades in East Germany revolt and subsequent West Germany and NATO intervention? I could see the Soviets surpressing the news of the uprising, disarming the East German units and keeping them under guard/ using them as labor troops.
However, it would be interesting if the East Germans knew of the negotiations between East and West German military before being sent east, then at a predetermined time, the East German units defected to the China/NATO side.
