What made this more powerful was no narration. The video spoke for itself.

I am so thankful that German television has kept its original videotape of the coverage of President Kennedy's visit to West Berlin...and not just some grainy kinescope. Their live coverage that day was very extensive, from the motorcades, the stops at Brandenburg Gate and Checkpoint Charlie, to the speech at the city hall. Great footage of a truly historic day.

A very moving video. I lived in Berlin from 1961 to 1963 and saw JFK in his motorcade on the Clayallee. I also experienced the building of the wall. Times I will never forget. And I recall the reaction of people on the street when news of his assassination was broadcast, many weeping women.

On the square in front of the city hall is nowadays a second hand market during the weekends. We were there a few weeks ago. Among the things I bought was a vintage camera tripod. It had a writing on it; Made in West Germany.

My father in Germany had two pictures of politicians in his office here in Germany. One shows Willy Brandt and the other President Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy was and is very popular in Germany. The Americans brought us democracy, we lost due to the uprise of Hitler.

Truly one of the great events of the 20th Century. A youthful US President travelling to the very epicentre of Cold War politics. And yet who has been the very catalyst of the worst bloodshed in human history….the Lone-wolf gunman. Take Sarajevo 1914 Gavrilo Princep and his “associates “. The “ Black hand” but especially their bankrollers.

I was told that the correct German would have been "Ich bin Berliner" and that the President's statement "Ich bin ein Berliner" inadvertently stated "I am a Berliner (a kind of donut)". Great to see this footage in full and we say Vielen Dank, DW.
@DWHistoryandCulture Жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching! While it would certainly make for an amusing tale, it is important to clarify that the story you mentioned about JFK being misunderstood as saying "we are all jelly donuts" is nothing more than a rumor. JFK intended to convey the message that "we are all citizens of Berlin" and it was well understood by the Berlin audience.

In Berlin, they take offence if you order a "Berliner" in a bakery, they call them "Pfannkuchen" there.

Grammar technicalities aside, the Germans would have understood perfectly and would not have found it odd. Plus, the pastry is not called a Berliner in Berlin, anyway.

@@yvonnefarrell1029 Both phrases are grammatically correct in German, you can use both but the meaning is slightly different, while it’s true that in German we usually don’t use an indefinite article before a profession, religion or a nationality but doing it isn’t wrong either, using an indefinite article would mean that you place yourself as a part of a collective group but you are not only one, so actually it makes more sense for Kennedy to add the indefinite article

Ironic that JFK was welcomed to divided Berlin in the western sectors, whereas his predecessor Harry S Truman 1945 -52 ensured the division of Germany, Vietnam and Korea.

@@petrouschkababouschka2827 No, completely wrong and an urban legend. "ich bin Berliner" is grammatically just wrong. "Ich bin ein Berliner" means a citizen of Berlin and in some regions it may also imply that you are a jelly filled donut. But in Berlin that thing is called Pfannkuchen and people in germany do not laugh if someone says "Ich bin ein Hamburger". It's rather a dad joke to turn it into "haha, you're food"
