Description
The first piece in a fictional alternate history project of mine called Fulda Gap.This first piece is titled: "Spring 1984"
The Fulda Gap is an area between the Hesse-Thuringian border (the former intra-German border), and Frankfurt am Main that contains two corridors of lowlands which tanks might have driven in a surprise attack effort by the Soviets and their Warsaw Pact allies to gain crossing(s) of the Rhine River. Named for the town of Fulda, the Fulda Gap was strategically important during the Cold War.

Now, after the "nightmare" that carachterized my youth has gone, it's fascinating to watch such Atrworks...
... but History is like a damned weel...
... I hope not to have again such type of nightmare...
... and I hope that the wole Humanity will never have nightmares at all.

Thanks so much for the comment! This was actually the one thing that gave me nightmares as a kid. I guess which is the reason I started to produce these images.
Seems like I am hitting the right nerve with some people through these images.

I'm always surprised by the fact that, now, there are a lot of people that never lived the nightmare that "in the future, probably in the near future, it's obvious that a Nuclear Global War is going to destroy all and to kill everybody!".
Yes... The Cold war was a terrible nightmare, but like all the nightmare, especially speaking of avoided danger...
has got a very special attraction.
And to finish...
... I'm very, but very worried by all the people that don't remember the fact that History is a turning weel ...
... and that have forgotten that war is a terrible thing.
Have a nice evening!

Man, I love the look of the tank. Is that a T-72? I'm captivated by the cinematic look in this. Well done!

Awesome work.
There is a german fictonal documentary about a soviet invasion (viewed from the perspective of a tv news reporter).
As far as I knew they used the real world strategies, army strength etc. as basis for this "alternate universe"
If you need some "inspiration" for the setting, I think this would be helpfull.
