The British had several divisions in West Germany during the 1980’s.

But, point taken, if the balloon had gone up, it would have been primarily American forces with support from the British.

Was checking out some military antiques and saw this -

 

 

During the interwar period, a German Army Barracks was built in Weddingen's home town of Herford and named for him and displayed two very large anchors at it's entrance in his honor. The barracks were occupied by PANZER ABWEHR-ABTEILUNG 6 throughout WW2 and then by the British ROYAL CORP OF SIGNALS during the post war occupation. These barracks are scheduled to be returned to the City of Herford in 2020 when the last British Troops are slated for removal from Germany.

 

 

Interesting. Some shuffling of the deck appears to be going on in NATO.
