Checkpoint Charlie Berlin October 1984
Checkpoint Charlie in 1984. The Americans resisted pressure to upgrade and improve Charlie as they considered this would imply the Western Allies tacitly accepted the permanence of a divided Berlin. Ironically, when they finally succumbed and the place was modernised and improved, Charlie was about to become overtaken by history.
