Explore the British Army’s role in the Cold War through this interactive timeline packed with over 100 sources.
From an army of occupation tasked with rebuilding a devastated Germany at the end of the Second World War, the British Army evolved into a Nato fighting force engaged in constant training - and even warfare in Korea - in the face of rising tension with the Soviet Union and the nuclear threat.
The interactive timeline features sources from the National Army Museum’s collections including photographs, documents and artefacts, as well as video interviews with British Army of the Rhine veterans discussing Cold War Berlin and the Soviet threat.
