At Chausseestrasse Checkpoint, Berlin, 27 August 1962
One "trusty" Vopo, and three others ready to shoot him if he runs. Picture taken from just inside West Berlin (French sector).
This and many other of my photographs are featured in my book "Berlin in the Cold War, 1959-1966" (Allan Hailstone, Amberley Publishing, October 2017), together with the story of my experiences of photographing divided Berlin in those years.
