Observation Post Alpha, OP Alpha or Point Alpha (50°43′26.15″N 09°55′54.68″ECoordinates: 50°43′26.15″N 09°55′54.68″E) was a Cold War observation post between Rasdorf, Hesse, West Germany and Geisa, Thuringia, East Germany. The post overlooked part of the Fulda Gap, which would have been a prime invasion route had the Cold War erupted into actual warfare. The "Point Alpha" memorial commemorates its forty-year existence, and was dedicated to keep it and a section of East German wall as reminders of German division and the confrontation of NATO and the Warsaw Pact in the Cold War.
