Der Zeitgeist Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I'll just leave these here. Today we’re talking to Neil Gussman who trained on the M60A1 tank in the 1970s. This was the standard main battle tank of the US Army from the 1960s through to the 1980s. Today we talk again with Neil Gussman who was an M60A1 tank commander in West Germany tasked with defending the Fulda Gap which was a key likely Warsaw Pact attack route. We talk about his rushed initial deployment where he faced Warsaw Pact tanks across the border, details of various exercises he was in and how the US troops interacted with the West German population. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulda Gap an "historical invasion route from the east" lol. Napoleon in 1813 was retreating after defeat at Leipzig. The only ones that where invading at this route where the Americans themself in 1945 in eastern direction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulda_Gap Edited June 25, 2021 by sawomi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
