Were there any plans for Nato to reinforce Bornholm Island, if war broke out, with SAM or land based Harpoon launchers? |

Not that I have read in both English and German. Danes did have a more robust force, after mobilization, on the island than in WW2. Though if war did break out Jutland would be reinforced with Germans, in the late 80's by US Army and British army would join as well. Zealand would be reinforced by either elements of the US second Marines or elements of XVIII airborne corps. Again late Cold War and no prepositioned equipment. In the post war environment Bornholm island would be in a very precarious position due to its proximity to the Warsaw pact and just enough to be "way out there" for NATO due to post war weapons. Zealand and Norway would provide the better plug in the Baltic with "safer" western shores and proximity to friendlies in force. -Jim |
