I was stationed there in the 60's long after. But it was still fresh in everyones'minds. Almost a religious experience.

Ah yes, the Luft Brucke memorial. I was in Wiesbaden from 80 to 84, but I made it to Berlin a few times. All my life I had heard of Checkpoint Charlie, but I didn’t know about Checkpoint Alpha and Checkpoint Bravo.
When I saw Checkpoint Charlie, it was just a shack in the middle of the street. The sign was rather chilling. It said, You are leaving the American sector. Then we went into the belly of the beast, the showcase of Russian communism, East Berlin, in our spiffy Air Force uniforms. The East Berlin men were checking out the female Air Force women with us. 😊
