Stationed in West Berlin from 1987 - 1992. Know all about Walls and Communism.
Those of us in Berlin at the time never thought Honecker would go down without a fight.
Went to Hamburg in 1968 while in the Navy and we took a bus ride to the wall/fence. Pretty awful to say the least. It had only gotten worse since I had gone into East Berlin in 1962.
You and I overlapped a little. 1946 Communications Squadron, Tempelhof, 84-88.
