Abstract

By mid-1963, the immediate threat to European security from the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961 had receded, but East-West tensions over the city remained high. Although some scholars such as Marc Trachtenberg have claimed that the Cuban missile crisis of October 1962 was followed by a lasting East-West détente in Europe, this article shows that the status of Berlin remained a Cold War flashpoint until well into 1963. The article highlights three of the military showdowns (the so-called Autobahn crises) that occurred in October and November 1963 over the transportation rules for U.S., British, and French access to West Berlin. The crises caused a good deal of friction, but their resolution ushered in a more peaceful time for Berlin and Europe as a whole.
1963 年的高速公路危机:美国军方与冷战时期最后一次柏林大决战
到1963年年中,1961年柏林墙的修建对欧洲安全的直接威胁已经消退,但东西方在柏林问题上的紧张关系仍然居高不下。尽管马克-特拉滕伯格(Marc Trachtenberg)等一些学者声称,1962 年 10 月的古巴导弹危机之后,东西方在欧洲出现了持久的缓和,但本文指出,直到 1963 年,柏林的地位仍然是冷战的热点。文章重点介绍了 1963 年 10 月和 11 月围绕美国、英国和法国进入西柏林的交通规则而发生的三次军事对决(即所谓的高速公路危机)。这些危机引发了大量摩擦,但危机的解决为柏林乃至整个欧洲带来了一个更加和平的时代。
