Morning all,
just in from the pub. So today is the 30th anniversary of the wall, a significant milestone in European history.
Me, I remember being stationed with the Army in the British and US sectors in West Berlin as a Brixmis driver chasing the Eastie Beasties (Soxmis) in their Trabants and spending hours on the side of the roads waiting to decide what to do with them.
Also, guarding Hess in Spandau prison (although we were all pretty sure he had already kicked the bucket as no one ever saw him). Also various trips across Checkpoint Charlie into the East to Alexandra Platz where 20 Deutsche Marks would buy you literally anything you wanted.
Amyone any other memories of the wall, east/west Germany?
