Tank Autobahns on Czech border.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Warsaw Pact built these tank Autobahns that ran right up to the border between West Germany and the then Czechoslovakia. In case of a Warsaw Pact invasion of Western Europe, they would have used these "tank autobahns" as high speed invasion routes into Germany. My US Army unit, A Co 4/16th Infantry, did 55 days of border guard duty based in Weiden, West Germany in the late Spring of 1988. This is me in the picture when I was 19.
The location I put in for the pic is where you can go in Google Maps to see this tank autobahn just east of the German border if you go to satellite view. Just to the west of this point is where the picture was taken, on the edge of the German/Czech border at latitude 49.618427 and longitude 12.528077.
