Manufacturer

The 1st (UK) Armoured Division of the British Army of the Rhine conducted Exercise "White Rhino" between 7th and 25th September 1989. The exercise covered an area of 7500 km² and included 13 districts in the provinces of Lower Saxony, Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia of West Germany. The 7th and 22nd Armoured Brigades conducted the sub-exercises "Rat Rhino" and "Stag Rhino" in the two southern sectors of the exercise area. The last full force exercise of the 1st (UK) Armoured Division during the Cold War involved no less than 11060 troops, 237 main battle tanks, 36 self-propelled howitzers, 957 light tracked vehicles, 2200 wheeled vehicles and 35 helicopters. This publication grants a highly illustrated look back at a time, when British Army tanks ruled German plains.

For its last major exercise as a full force during the Cold War, the British 1st Armoured Division had a total of 11060 soldiers in the field with 237 main battle tanks, 36 self-propelled howitzers, 957 light tracked vehicles, 2200 wheeled vehicles and 35 helicopters! With "White Rhino 89", this publication takes a wistful and richly illustrated look back at the "good old manoeuvre days" in Germany.
