Tank tracks on the former eastern side of the border and east German observation tower looking to the west.
The Fulda Gap (German: Fulda-Lücke), an area between the Hesse-Thuringian border (the former Inner German border) and Frankfurt am Main, contains two corridors of lowlands through which tanks might have driven in a surprise attack by the Soviets and their Warsaw Pact allies to gain crossing(s) of the Rhine River.[1] Named for the town of Fulda, the Fulda Gap became seen as strategically important during the Cold War of 1947-1991
