...backed by militia. These would be backed, in turn, by six armored divisions based in Germany itself. The NATO divisions would remain on the Rhine. Germans are interested in defending their homes, he said, but not in retreating through their own territory until the NATO forces could mount a counterattack. But the political appeal of his plan -which finally led to his dismissal-was that the Germans would thereby have a "detachable" army which could maneuver, either militarily or politically, independent of NATO. With such an army a strong Germany might, in time, make its own deal with Russia...
Does this mean that Chiang accepts-and would even wish to bring on-World War III? Today's world might not be prepared to accept Chiang's answer, for it runs counter to accepted habits of thought.

When the New York Post ran a 24-part series heavily attacking him as inaccurate, unreliable and vindictive, Columnist Walter Winchell replied in a counterattack that went on for months.

...World War II Konev commanded the north flank of Zhukov's famous counterattack which thrust the Germans back from Moscow in December 1941. Assigned to the Kursk front, he commanded the Second Ukrainian Army, which breached the German defenses and liberated Belgorod and Kharkov. In 1944 he won his greatest victory at Korsun-Shevchenkovsky, where in mud and blizzard his Soviet force encircled and destroyed ten German divisions. From there he went on to force the Dnieper, the Bug and the Dniester, and after liberating North Moldavia, his troops crossed Poland and became the first Russians to reach...
