I remember this, the alarms , drills and great concern in my parents eyes. It was a frightening time. So great to see you encompass a whole story in this work of art and reflect a very important part of history which we will hope will NOT repeat itself. Fav

Nancy, thank you for your words. Most people do not realize how close Earth came to our final Armageddon. I appreciate your FAV vote too. :-)
Hartmut Jager
Thank You Nancy for your astute words. I happen to be in the German army during the Cuban Missile Crisis and whenever there was an alarm I thought 'Unbelievable, they have done it !' - And now those two juvenile macho-man Trump and Putin idiots are retching up their nuclear arsenal again - instead of reducing it. They are no better than that North Korean 'Rocketman' !
Nancy Griswold
Me too, I shuttter! Thanks for sharing this, I remember the cold war too as a child and having to go under my desk and into hallways to crouch down during drills at school ( as a child), I was always afraid and I think that I was affected throughout life with fear of the nuclear capability.

This could be today, all we need to do is to change the portraits . . .
Hartmut Jager replied:
Indeed David, although with todays 1000% better communications, errors and miscalculations are easier to avoid than it was in 1962. Only after the Crisis was over did the USA and Russia install a direct (Red Phone) link ! ! !

Hello there Hartmut! Just thought I'd drop by since you jogged me out of never-never land with your message! I see you are still creating wonderfully thought-provoking art! It's always a pleasure for me to visit your site! And yes, it is chilling to think how something like this would have turned out in today's political climate. Jeesh! Scary!!!! Good work as always, Hartmut!!!
