Deutsch: Während des REFORGER '82 Manövers müht sich eine M1 "Abrams" Panzerkompanie über eine Nebenstraße im Ochsenfurter Gau im Sept. 1982. Am Kolonnenende folgen wie immer die obligatorischen ein bis zwei Bergepanzer, hier ein M88A1 der US ARMY . Während die Kolonne für einen Moment stockt, nimmt der M88-Panzerkommandant ein kurzes Gespräch mit dem unterfränkischen Landwirt auf, der soeben mit seinem DEUTZ-Traktor (mit OCH-Kennzeichen des Lkr. Ochsenfurt am Main) die schmale Landstraße für die "dicken Brummer" freigemacht hat. 37 Jahre nach Ende des 2. Weltkrieges waren Deutsche und Amerikaner endlich freundschaftlich miteinander verbunden, die Ost-West-Konfrontation sollte aber - bis zum Fall der "Berliner Mauer" - noch weitere 7 Jahre anhalten.
