Andropov, on the other hand, warned legislators in Bonn against the planned NATO missile deployment in West Germany, arguing, "You do not want the threat of war to emanate from the territory of your country, a war that would be a hell for the whole of mankind." Communist Party officials from Soviet-bloc nations were summoned to Moscow for a conference on ways to prevent the Pershing II and cruise deployment...
