## Caption

Photo by gerdludwig / Just after German reunification, 30 years ago, a fence (whose days would be numbered) keeps Heinrich Staab, a villager in former West Germany, from herding his sheep into the East. In a nearby valley known as the Fulda Gap, a historic invasion route, American forces stood guard throughout the Cold War, watching for a Soviet attack that never came. thephotosociety #Germanreunification #Germany #FuldaGap
