A short radio programme about one of the lesser known episodes of the cold war can be found here:

Brixmis was a British army unit tasked with locating items of interest in East Germany.Other nations did similar things and one US officer was shot dead trying to enter a Soviet tank garage.

What items of interest did they found?

Can't get the link to work (prob my work computers set up) :yep:
What date did this happen? :hmm:

Da link worx!:yep:

This happened from the end of WW2 until the Russians left East Germany.Finds included pieces of reactive armour,discovering sam sites ,new tanks etc.

Thanks Linton....I got it from my home pc mate :up:

I applaud the discussion of some NAVAL-related items for a change. Who would have imagined it on a site like, oh I don't know, SubSim.com?

More of this, please.

I see your point...:up:

I meant military-related, not just naval. This was not a slight at Linton, rather, it was praise.

Hokay, I dig it!:yep:

@Linton

Are there any more 'Astute' pictures forthcoming to look forward to? :hmm:

I have posted a few more

Cheers matey....I've just responded on the other thread :up:
