    During the hight of the Cold War there seems to have been a definite feeling that a Third World War was inevitable. I think this is what drove the DDR to produce this series of medals and keep them hidden from view. Hungary did exactly the same thing only there seem to far fewer medals made in Hungary than there were in the DDR. I wonder if any of the other Warsaw Pact nations produced a set of "WWIII" medals?

    Regards,

      Hello all - I have revived this thread to add my two cents related to the invasion plans of Western Europe. In the early 1970s there was a Polish officer named COL. Ryszard Kuklinski who worked for the Polish General Staff. During this time period Kuklinski volunteered his service when he made contact with members of the CIA. Over a nine year period, Kuklinski provided highly valuable information about the Soviet intentions related to the activty occurring on Polish soil and he further provided the strategtic war plans to invade Western Europe. Additonally, the information Kuklinski provided about the war plans gave the US a better understanding on what the Soviets and Warsaw Pact were thinking throughout the 1970s.

      In 1981 before Kuklinski left Poland, he provided a clear understanding of the intentions to the senior US leadership on what the Polish General Staff and Soviet military were thinking during the Solidarity movement, which included if the soviets were going to invade Poland.

      Kuklinski is considered one of the top three spies that made a difference for the West that kept the Cold War from going hot. Kuklinski passed away in 2004 at the age of 73.
