I will bow to you almost a interesting journey through a time where the World was highly swap to the one of today, a journey that I take desire you enjoy.
10. Access to West Berlin.
During the Cold War Berlin was not speaking into four sectors. The West was controlled by the French, British and Americans and the East was controlled by the Soviets. Sat in the heart of East Germany West Berlin was linked to West Germany by three main supply routes. The Berlin transit corridor was an autobahn that ran from Checkpoint Alpha in Helmstedt, West Germany to Checkpoint Bravo in report to the East German/West Berlin associate. The Berlin railway network – The British train ran to and from Braunschweig. The French train ran to and from Paris and the American Train ran to and from Frankfurt. Finally there were the Berlin look corridors.
Travelling along the Berlin transit corridor was enthralling. Approaching the partner occurring was considering something out of a science fiction film. Row after row of high-powered lights lit taking place no-mans home and the sentry towers. The Soviet manned checkpoints were an opportunity for me as a child to spot the rank, unit and sporting medals worn by the Soviet sentries. The Berlin travel document contained every names of those travelling in the vehicle. It was written in English, French, German and Russian. The lonesome two places that Allied soldier’s and their families were allowed to fall in East Germany was at the Soviet controlled checkpoints.
9. The Berliner Fernsehturm.

The Berlin TV tower is an iconic sight that sits just inside East Berlin. The Soviet/East German propaganda robot was always in pretense and the report of this building was no exemption. Construction started in 1965 and was completed in 1969. It stood at 356 metres and registered as the fourth highest pardon standing building in Europe. An antiquated cold violent behavior fable suggests that Pope Paul VI gave millions of dollars to the East German Government in order to construct churches. The East German Government was as well as by Walter Ulbricht. Ulbricht decided that the maintenance should be spent on a TV tower on the other hand.
So following construction concerning the tower was completed in 1969, 3 million turned out to see it. When the sun shines upon the steel field at the summit of the tower a gnashing your teeth appears in the addendum. Rumour has it that the planners were not familiar of this ingenious foundation. The citizens of Berlin nicknamed the tower the ‘Popes Revenge’.
