Vendors at Checkpoint Charlie
Description:
Checkpoint Charlie was the most famous Allied crossing point between East and West Berlin.
Creator comments:
"Used until June 1990 as a Borderpost for non-Germans leaving the American sector. I passed through here for a brief tour of East Berlin in 1961, before the Wall went up. Many East Germans attempted to escape through this borderpost."
