We (in the DC Working Group) thought that the difficulties of seriously implementing the v1 canon timeline were too severe and scrapped the whole idea of the NVA remaining in barracks for 7 weeks. In reality, the NVA would have been disarmed faster than you can say "JNA in Bosnia".
For our take on the situation, check out the following three pieces:
http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeedox4/s...rstandings.doc for the political background on the East German entry into the war.
http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeedox4/s...7th_guards.doc for how the NVA "engaged in friendly socialist co-operation against the revanchist Chinese"; and
http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeedox4/s...ern_europe.doc discusses some of the difficulties faced in integrating the Volksmarine and the Kriegsmarine while the Polish Navy and Soviet Baltic Fleet are steaming westward.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...
