On the evening prior to our 2022 Fall Gathering, we held our first panel discussion on the topic "How the Armies on both sides of the Iron Curtain envisioned a potential conflict at the height of the Cold War". Led by H.Spoerker and J.Neuhuber, MjrGen (ret) Karl Wendy, Col Walter Posch, Ludwig Francl and Franz Brödl brought this time back to life. Especially the memories of Col Posch and Ludwig Francl presented a fascinating inside as they both happened to be serving as tank platoon commanders on both sides of the border during this period.

We plan to establish the evening prior to our Fall Gatherings as a standard panel discussion series. For September 2023 we are already in preparation of the topic "The border protection mission during the Jugoslavia crisis in 1991".
