The British Army of the Rhine: Turning Nazi Enemies Into Cold War Partners

Meer over het boek

The book explores the complex transformation of the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) from an occupying force to an ally in post-war West Germany between 1945 and 1957. It delves into the interactions between British troops and the German civilian population, highlighting the influence of British media on perceptions and the Army's initiatives to foster better relations. Despite the challenges and tensions, the BAOR's presence played a crucial role in stabilizing the relationship during a pivotal time in the Cold War, even if it did not significantly improve it.
