3rd Armored's 23rd Engineers create a mock nuclear
blast at Grafenwoehr in the fall of 1965 as part of a demonstration
for V Corps and NATO brass. The mushroom cloud rose approximately
500 feet above a desolate plain. The purpose of simulations was
to prepare troops for the sight and sound of a tactical nuclear
attack. The device used by the engineers was most likely an early
version of the Atomic Explosion Simulator M142 (see link above). |
