Soviet tanks as far as the eye can see

Cool stuff. When I think of how much planning, training and effort went into preparing a defense against these things pouring through the Fulda Gap it always amazes me. Field exercise after exercise, battle plan after plan, active defense, defense in depth, fluid defense, point defense and always with the understanding that if they attacked we could not stop them short of the English Channel unless we used nuclear weapons. Yet they were stopped, not with bombs and bullets, but with economics.
