Tear Down That Wall 1991

This cartoon booklet was given to all (western) allied servicemen in Berlin at the time as a thank you from the Berlin administration. The cartoonist J Stenzel was born in the USA in 1923 after his family fled the post WW1 inflation in Germany. They returned to Germany when Prohibition was introduced! The title comes from President Ronald Reagan's 1987 Brandenburg Gate appeal to Mikhail Gorbachow to "tear down that wall!"
