Not a single bullet was fired between the two major "warring" powers. There was never open combat between the NATO powers (US, GB, France, W. Germany, ect) and the Eastern Bloc (USSR, Poland, Czechoslovakia, ect).

It wasn't a "hot" war where people killed and shot each other. Instead it was a showdown along borders. Every so often something would happen, but for nearly 60 years the two sides just stared at each other.
