Episode 6

Tha mì-earbsa domhainn a’ cumail a’ dol eadar an dà thaobh, agus tha suidheachadh a’ Chogaidh Fhuair a’ fàs gu math beòthail. Tha an t-Aonadh Sobhieteach a’ maoidheadh air Nato le bomaichean neutron agus tha iad a’ dèanamh eacarsaichean armailteach air an crìochan. Tha Nato a’ gluasad barrachd airm-thilgidh anns an Roinn Eòrpa agus tha iad a’ cur eacarsaich mhòr armailteach air dòigh. Tha an t-siathamh prògram de Sgeulachd Cogaidh na h-Artaig – An Cogadh Fuar a’ leantainn mar a tha bàtaichean-aigeil Sobhieteach a’ faighinn a-steach do dh’ uisgeachan tìreach an t-Suain agus an Fhionnlainn. Tha an t-Suain nas deiseile sa Cheann a Tuath, agus tha an Nirribhidh a’ togail buncairean. Tha an Fhionnlainn a’ neartachadh am feachd adhair agus an t-seirbheis faire ann an Lapland. Aig an deireadh, dh’ fhaodar putan a bhruthadh, agus thòisicheadh cogadh niùclasach.

Deep distrust prevails between the two sides, and the Cold War situation becomes increasingly volatile. The Soviet Union threatens Nato with neutron bombs and actively conducts military exercises on its borders. Nato deploys more missiles in Europe and organises a massive military exercise.

This episode follows how Soviet submarines infiltrate the territorial waters of Sweden and Finland - the former increases its readiness in the north, while Norway builds bunkers. Finland strengthens its air force and surveillance in Lapland. In the end, nuclear war was only a button-push away.
