WASHINGTON — This is Doomsday prepping, European style.
Secret documents revealed Wednesday that Berlin has begun making plans for how it could help deploy as many as 800,000 NATO troops — including Americans — into Ukraine as Russia’s nuclear saber-rattling reaches new heights.
“Operation Deutschland” is a 1,000-page plan to prepare Germany for the possibility of a World War III scenario.
The top-secret papers reportedly detail specific buildings and infrastructure to protect so they can be utilized by the military, how businesses and civilians should prepare in case of increased threats, according to the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
They also suggested Berlin was preparing a way to push 200,000 military vehicles across German territory should the alliance be required to join Ukraine’s efforts, though further details were kept classified.
Germany has also advised citizens on ways to prepare for the worst by boosting their self-sufficiency through mechanisms including installing diesel generators or even wind turbines, according to the report.
Putin ‘playing with our fear’
The alarm is not contained to Germany. Sweden and Norway have also recently issued pamphlets and literature instructing citizens of how to prepare should the Ukraine War conflict boil over into their countries.
The rising concern comes as Russian President Vladimir Putin formally changed the Kremlin’s nuclear strike policy on Tuesday, announcing that Moscow may now use nuclear weapons to respond to non-nuclear, “conventional weapons” strikes.
