The Fulda Gap: A Cold War Standoff

A Cold War story. The Fulda Gap was ground zero of the Cold War. For fifty years, American G.I.'s stood down Soviet tanks. The soviet tanks had rolled over Czechoslovakia and Hungary. Now their gun turrets were aligned at the Fulda Gap and ready to attack West Germany. Unfortunately for the Russkies, the Fulda Gap was being guarded by the US Army 3rd Armored Division and the Third Herd was there to make sure that planned attack would never happen. Finally, one hundred miles to the East the Berlin Wall cracked open and the world changed. This is the story of the Cold War; a time in history every American should know.
