That’s wild.
I wondered how American tanks found their way into West Berlin.
Ich bin ein Hamburger!
Ich bin ein Frankfurter!
Ich bin ein Wiener!
Yeah... When I was assigned in Stuttgart, by the time I made it to Berlin, the wall had fallen, but I did get some chunks of it.
One of the more interesting trips I made was on summer of 1990, when I went to the first volksmarsch in East Germany. It was located in the village of Graefenau, near Erfurt. I crossed into the eastern zone and I felt like I’d traveled back through a time warp to 50 years prior. The infrastructure was similar in design, but delapidated.
The only thing our current Imbecile-in-Chief has with either JFK or Reagan is....
...sorry, can’t think of a single thing.
I hope the Germans run his goat smellin’ @$$ off. He’s no JFK or Ronald Reagan.
Thanks,
Is it just me or were the logistics of even the existence of a West Berlin mind boggling ?
In addition to the politics and Military issues ?
As I said earlier, I think a lot of people think West Berlin was connected to the west.
Ich bin ein dummkopf!
