Up to 6,000 British tanks and other military vehicles could be moved to Germany because of a lack of space to store them in the UK.
For the first time since the Second World War, the Ministry of Defence is considering sending a vast fleet of fighting machines towards the Rhine.
However, rather than a strategic manoeuvre, the move has been prompted by budget cuts, which have led to plans to sell off the MoD’s complex at Ashchurch, Gloucs, where the vehicles are stored and maintained.
Faced with the headache of where to put the stock of battle-ready tanks and vehicles, the MoD believes one option could be Mönchengladbach in western Germany.
The city in North-Rhine Westphalia is home to the British-owned Ayrshire barracks.
However, the proposed move raises concerns that too much equipment would be out of the country at a time when Britain is withdrawing forces from Germany.
