North Korea Has 200,000 Special Forces: Just How Dangerous?

But it does have a lot of tricks up its sleeve and that includes special forces to infiltrate the South and cause a lot of damage. One of the most vital parts of North Korea’s war machine is one that relies the most on so-called “soldier power” skills. North Korea has likely the largest special-forces organization in the wo...

*Michael Peck* *Security, Europe* Except it would have only taken one week. *Key point: *The Soviets had nuclear weapons. The Nazis conquered France in six weeks, in one of the most spectacular military victories in history.

But unlike the Germans, the Soviets planned to do it in a week, according to the Warsaw Pact's 1964 war plan, discovered in the military archives of the former Czechoslovakia.
