Berlin Wall memories from a Berlin veteran
Former U S Army cryptographer who served three years in Berlin recalls daily life under the wall. He describes West Berlin as vibrant and East Berlin dark and dreary, the wall’s impact on families, and escape attempts marked by crosses on the sidewalk. He watched the wall go up and finally come down in 1989 and laments its existence.
