The maps are pretty intriguing, but are hard to believe.  Except for the Central Front in Germany, I don't think the Sovs really had the forces to push into the Balkans, Greece, Turkey, like this indicates.

Look more like book illustrations than actual battle plans.

That being said, the US (and most likely all of the other NATO nations) has plans for all contingencies, so why wouldn't the Soviets?
