Look back on 70 years of NATO
Comprising approximately 350 hours of film, explore official NATO documentaries and newsreel footage taken in the late 1940s through to the 1990s. This project is part of an exclusive global licensing distribution partnership between IWM and NATO, marking the 70th anniversary of the creation of NATO.
Hidden gems include:
-
colour footage of a divided Berlin in the 1960s
-
signing of the North Atlantic Treaty on 4 April 1949
-
documentary film about how the alliance works
"The materials digitised by IWM represent some of the key moments in time, with some very rare footage, for telling the story of the Alliance. NATO is grateful for the invaluable expertise from IWM to help the Alliance preserve this important collection and make it available for a new generation of storytellers to share NATO’s history.” Ineke Deserno, Head of Archives at NATO
