Thanks, Ursus & BT. I hope I am not frustrating you with my questions and continued attempts at making the v1 timeline work. Here are a couple more:

What if a faction in the Bundeswehr launched a false-flag op to create the illusion of a DDR attack on West Germany?

If that's still too far-fetched, what if the anti-communist DDR military faction decided to launch an attack on West Germany, to give the Bundeswehr a pretext to counter? This attack, of course, would be mostly for show, but it would provide a justification for a punitive Bundeswehr drive into East Germany which would then prompt a coup by the NVA. West Germany would have its fait accompli, and NATO would have a reason to intervene (Article 9 of the charter).

As a bit of an aside, how do you German T2k'ers handle the beginning of the Twilight War?
