RG2011... The rise and fall of the Berlin Wall

 

 
 
Rock sokmo.. (jadi rakan FB wa: irwan saufi matrock)

 
 
A look at iconic images of the Berlin Wall, 50 years after the erection of the structure.
The wall split East and West Berlin as the US and Soviet Union struggled for international supremacy.
 
 
1: 6/11/1961-West Berlin, West Germany- Wired shut, the Brandenburg Gate on the dividing line between
East and West Berlin looms beyond this barbed wire entanglement which, surprisingly, is on the Western side.
It was built up on orders of Berlin's British military command, which described the barrier as just a "normal safety precaution."
East Berlin authorities have closed off the other side of the gate for weeks.
Pictures- Corbis Images
2: 21/11/1961- An East German construction worker helps construct the Berlin Wall near the Brandenburg Gate.
3: 21/4/1962- A young woman, accompanied by her boyfriend, stands precariously
 near the top of the Berlin War to talk to her mother on the East Berlin side.
4: 3/1/1963- East Berlin military peer suspiciously to the west side of the city.
5:  26/6/1963- JFK's iconic 'Ich bin ein Berliner' speech was intended to boost disillusioned
West Berliners whilst sending a defiant message to the USSR.
6: 22/12/1963- West and East Berliners embrace as they meet at Oberbaum Bridge border crossing point.
For the first time since the Communists set up their wall in 1961, West Berliners could get special passports
permitting them to cross the sector border for Christmas visits to their East Berlin relatives.
Thousands of West Berliners crossed, and thousands queued every day in front of the pass bureaus.
7: 12/9/1978- Arial view of Berlin border wall is seen in this image.
