ps The Fulda Gap was rendered indefensible at the end of WWII, with airpower and ICBM's and Short range missiles the only thing the gap would be good for was sending in tanks to look for the few, if any survivors, not that you could do much for them anyway.

The Fulda Gap is a section of territory between the former East German border and Frankfurt, (West) Germany. Named for the nearby town of Fulda, the Fulda Gap was of immense strategic importance during the Cold War. It was one of two obvious routes for a hypothesized Soviet attack on West Germany from its bases in East Germany and Czechoslovakia. (The other obvious route was via the North German Plain; a third, less likely route, involved an attack through Austria up the Danube River valley.)
