German war simulation exposes gaps in Germany’s response to a hypothetical Russian attack on Lithuania

This article explores a fictional wargame conducted by WELT, a German publication, in cooperation with the German Wargaming Center of the Helmut-Schmidt-University of the German Armed Forces. The wargame examines Germany's potential response to a hypothetical Russian military escalation in the Baltics, focusing on the challenges and limitations faced by Germany and Europe in such a scenario. The simulation highlights the importance of U.S. support and leadership in NATO's response to a crisis, and emphasizes the difficulty of reversing established military facts once they are set.
