I’m pretty sure east Germany is reunited with West Germany since some days 😀
There’s some British/Belgian/Dutch general looking at this and asking himself what a Corps is…
I remember a Dutch colonel back somewhere in the 1980’s. He said the tankers who would be stationed on the frontline were known as the 7-minuters. Because, based on the exercises and wargames they did practicing for a Soviet invasion, that would roughly be their life-expectancy. Not sure what he’d make of the Russian army now.

Who the heck resurrected this outdated map?

Ah, the US V Corps and the famous [Fulda gap.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulda_Gap)
I can proudly state that I’ve helped defend Lüneburg for a couple of days myself
And then there were the West Berlin troops which were expected to be dead in few hours after the war starts.
