    There was also a plan during the cold war in case of war where US would nuke every transport node in Poland (that is basically every city above 20000 inhabitants) to block Soviet and Polish armies from reinforcing East Germany. And of course it didn't plan to bomb even East Germany itself, they are not Slavs after all.

      TBH, some highway interchanges in FRG built in 1960s included slots for a nuclear device to completely level all infrastructure around.
