Even at the height of the Cold War, with armies and navies facing off on a hair-trigger world-wide, with land and sea-based ICBMs ready to launch, the treaty guaranteeing free transit of anybody and anything (NATO military supplies, whatever), was not hindered.
We were just passengers (in civilian clothes) on a multiple-times-daily regular train running from West Germany to West Berlin across USSR-controlled Warsaw-Pact Communist East Germany.
The RR corridor ran all the way through very serious chain-link barbed-wire fences.
But no Godless Communists, East German or Soviet Russian, every tried to stop that train.
Not since the Berlin Airlift (1948-49), and the subsequent treaties guaranteeing the free access RR corridor.
Say what you want, but the godless atheist Warsaw Pact Communists never cut off the trains running across Communist East Germany to West Berlin.
Now, anybody who thinks Lithuania, "The Mouse that Roared," woke up and decided to pull this on their own....I have this great tunnel in Florida to sell you.
