To be sure, the East Germans were the most doctrinaire of communists within Warsaw Pact. A theory I once heard from an Order of Battle type in our Army was that the purpose of the huge East German Army was to threaten Poland, Czecho and Hungary should they balk at any war with NATO forces.

Their rank and file units were the best trained, best equipped and best led, after SOF, in Warsaw Pact.
