Experience History: Berlin 1961-1989
View allAll Photos Tagged checkpoint
Checkpoint Charlie (or "Checkpoint C") was the best-known Berlin Wall crossing point between East Berlin and West Berlin during the Cold War (1947–1991), as named by the Western Allies.
East German leader Walter Ulbricht agitated and maneuvered to get the Soviet Union's permission to construct the Berlin Wall in 1961 to stop emigration and defection westward through the Border system, preventing escape across the city sector border from East Berlin into West Berlin. Checkpoint Charlie became a symbol of the Cold War, representing the separation of East and West. Soviet and American tanks briefly faced each other at the location during the Berlin Crisis of 1961. On 26 June 1963, U.S. President John F. Kennedy visited Checkpoint Charlie and looked from a platform onto the Berlin Wall and into East Berlin.

india to nepal
border crossing
passport control
The atmosphere in this night scene at the immigration border between India and Nepal was incredible chaotic. There were cars, buses, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles even horse carriages going through the border. There were immigration officers walking through the fog between cars directing traffic to prevent immigration traffic bottlenecks and keep the flow moving. Despite the madness, we managed to pass through the border in less time than some of the conventional airports I have flown.
