Does anyone know where I can find the plans for the Warsaw Pact/Soviet attack against NATO/West Germany?

I can't find the operational name or any specific plans by name.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Good Hunting.

I really liked this one (by a former NVA officer who later transitioned into the Bundeswehr), on early '80s DDR "counter-attack" plans:

And, less concrete, but including background and viewpoints from all sides:
Military Planning for European Theatre Conflict during the Cold War (Roundtable 2006)

Wait, there's more:
The "Parallel History Project on Cooperative Security" has a collection of various documents on war plans and staff exercises for a WP attack into Germany. Requires some digging, but there are a few nuggets such as a plan for a Polish landing into Denmark.

Admittedly a subset of what you're after but here's a CIA assessment of Warsaw Pact plans for operations against Denmark from 1989: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/71686353/Warsaw%20Pact%3B%20Planning%20for%20Operations%20Against%20Denmark_CIA%20DoI_APR89.pdf

Everything out there are really 'plans' from WP/Soviet exsercises, not the actual operation planning documents.

Here is a link to a 1994 Armor magazine article describing the EG/Soviet planning for the assualt on West Berlin:

There's some scans of Moves articles just been put up in the header of the Comsimworld 'Central Front' discussion page at: http://talk.consimworld.com/WebX/.ee6d04b/1392

There's also been some updates people have posted for postulated reinforcement schedules that can be used with 'Central Front'.

By the way, I did the Vassal mod for the Central Front Series years ago where I put all 5 maps together.

David Isby directed me to a book called "Cold War Plans That Never Happened 1945-91". I just got it today so maybe it will have what I'm looking for in it.

Good Hunting.
