Interesting. But I'm curious about those secondary lines of attack into the far northern reaches of Canada. Why? There's NOTHING up there! No cities, no roads, hardly any people. Why bother? |

Mostly because War Plan Red, and also the Canadian plan for a war against the United States were little more than staff studies. If some scenario can be thought of, no matter how unlikely it is to really happen, there will be a staff study. Generally the less likely the scenario the more outlandish the actions in the staff study. Terry |

Actually, War Plan Red was a political necessity, demanded by Irish-American politicians. War Plan Crimson (Canad) however, wasn't even a staff study. It was an Army War College student project. The major source of information on Canada was stuff solicited by mail from the Canadian Federal and Provincial governments. |

' There's NOTHING up there! No cities, no roads, hardly any people. Why bother? ' That map is quite amusing. Apparently every square mile of swamp and tundra and every Eskimo and Polar Bear had to be captured. :) |
