And a long list of aircraft shot down. The cold war truly was a war...……………………………..
The Berlin Airlift alone caused the death of 31 US Servicemen.
“The cold war truly was a war”
My husband has talked about being on the border between East and West Germany when a particular East German tower would shoot at Americans who were clearing brush on the Western side of the border.
His company moved up and when a group went out to clear brush the tower opened fire again but this time the East German sniper has his head blown off.
There was no more interference with the people clearing brush.
