This is in the period surroundiung the Berlin crisis (June 4-November 9, 1961) centered around the building of the Berlin Wall. Soviet
and U.S. cavalry faced off across the first proclaimed and then fortified border around West Berlin. The U.S. eventually brought in the Davy Crockett platoon-level, recoilless rifle-delivered, tactical nuclear weapon system, the "watermelon with fins."
