RE: The Berlin Wall - A Piece Of German History
This post was quite a trip down memory lane for me!
I was stationed in West Germany during the 1980's while the cold war was still quite hot. The Berlin Brigade had the assigned duty of patrolling the wall; I remember riding around on the back of an M151A1 hanging onto an M60 with the ominous, and ever present thought in my mind that the NVA was on the other side of that wall watching, and patrolling exactly like we were. The era still hold an aura surrealism for me because I never thought the Cold War would end.
thank you for sharing, that's so crazy! like @twinner mentioned below, it's so strange to think nowadays that people believed the wall would be there forever, the cold war would never end and germany would never unite. things have changed so much (for the better!!)
