Friedensstein Memorial

1980 was here an alarm, Pershing II

A memorial to a not so great time !!

The inscription on the peace stone reads:THERE WAS AN ALARM POSITION OF THE MEDIUM-RANGE MISSILE "PERSHING II" HERE FROM 1980, THE MISSILES WERE EQUIPPED WITH NUCLEAR WARHEADS.THE ROCKETS WERE STATIONED IN MUTLANGEN AND HEILBRONN. THE ARMING OF NATO WITH “PERSHING II” WAS DONE ON THE BASIS OF THE NATO DOUBLE DECISION:- IN PARALLEL TO UPGRADING THE WARSAW PACT, NATO WILL ALSO BE UPGRADED WITH MEDIUM-RANGE MISSILES.
- AT THE SAME TIME TO NEGOTIATE DISARMABILITY.
THE MISSILES WERE WITHDRAWN FROM 1990 DUE TO SUCCESSES IN THE DISARMAMENT NEGOTIATIONS.
THE MUTUAL THREATS BETWEEN NATO AND THE WARSAW PACT BY MEDIUM-RANGE MISSILES CARRYING NUCLEAR WARHEADS NO LONGER EXISTED.THIS PLAQUE IS TO REMEMBER THE DANGER OF NUCLEAR WAR AND THE HOPE FOR PEACE.
