Stockpiled during the 1961 Berlin crisis, the equipment has been sitting idle ever since. At Kaiserslautern three unbroken columns of tanks, guns and ammunition stretch caterpillar-like for two miles along an abandoned highway. Later, in forested bivouac areas ablaze with the golds and russets of autumn, the troops set up pup tents, took hot showers in tents equipped with gas-powered water heaters, wolfed down mountainous...
