“World War III” was a novel written about 20 years ago — maybe more — by a UK general who was high up in NATO. Very realistic, almost frightening. One of the several scenarios he kept coming back to was that of the adventures of a Motor Rifle platoon leader driving through Fulda at high speed. There were others.

Bingo! Beat me, and with the correct title, too! Was there a sequel by the general?

30 years ago.

I read the book. My favorite theory in the book is that it took the Soviets 4 days to reach the Atlantic. Three days to fight their way across West Germany, and one day to drive at highway speeds across France.
