Modern irregular warfare: In defense policy and as a military phenomenon - WEST GERMANY MAY 1986 When these "ecologists" attacked the police at the Wackersdorf nuclear reprocessing plant in Bavaria, West Germany on May 1718, 1986, 200 police officers were injured and a million dollars worth of property was destroyed. The assaults were coordinated on the spot by the German Communist Party, the DKP, directing a corps of terrorist shock troops. The strings on the DKP and its terrorists run through East Germany to Moscow. The West is at war. Yet politicians on both sides of the Atlantic call pitched battles like Wackersdorf "anti-nuclear demonstrations," and Soviet directed assassinations "political violence." Today West Germany is on the front lines of this war. If the battle for Germany is lost, the battle for the West as a whole cannot be won. Professor von der Heydte's book, the classic study of Irregular Warfare, first appeared in German in 1972. It is indispensable reading for those who want to understand how this warfare is proceeding, ... and how to stop it.
