Der 3. Weltkrieg (1998)
First is very good

I liked the first half a lot because I generally like such "alternative history" mocumentaries - it's not for everyone though. I agree with grimmig-1 on many points, he obviously knows what he is talking about. Of course, NATO had an overall advantage in the quality of conventional forces. But this did not matter, because NATO never had sufficient forces to stop Soviet/Warsaw Pact forces by conventional means only. Such a strategy was too expensive, especially for the Germans. A better strategy, at the least for the Europeans, was to rely on American nuclear arms to deter/stop eastern armies. And, of course, Americans have made it clear early on that they would not hesitate to use nuclear forces first... Overall, an enjoyable movie.
