If so I need to know what British unit was there during my time there.

Hi Knox;

What your looking for is which 'Squadron', and from which 'Armoured Regiment' was with the British Berlin Brigade during that time frame. The Berlin Brigade was made up of 3x Infantry Battalions, 1x Armoured Squadron (that would have been detached from it's parent Regiment) and Admin/Log support elements. The Brigade itself was a separate entity and not part of the BAOR. With the amalgamations of British Armoured Regiments since that time, its a bit hard pinpointing an exact 'Squadron' ID for that period, unless you can dig up an Orbat for the Brigade covering that period.

Cheers
