MEANING & PRONUNCIATION

der Kalte Krieg

Cold War (the prolonged political and military rivalry between the US-led and Soviet-led blocs after the Second World War)

Für meinen Vater war der Kalte Krieg keine bloße Unterrichtseinheit, sondern der Hintergrund einer Kindheit, in der eine Grenze seine Verwandtschaft trennte.

For my father, the Cold War was more than just a topic at school; it was the backdrop to a childhood in which a border separated his relatives.
