Red Star

A Russian Guard, as depicted in the Checkpoint Charlie Museum, Berlin, Germany.

The red star of the tank soldier`s head gear highlights the historical happenings of 1961 when American and Soviet tanks confronted each other in the divided City of Berlin. Soon afterwards the Russians erected the Berlin Wall and stopped all travel between the east and west sectors.
