"U.S. Army in Berlin: Checkpoint Charlie" (1961) - REEL Cold War History

[@grimreaper6557]

I served in Berlin in 1980-1985 it was an honor to serve with the best they were well trained and motivated of course by then the German police handled any civilian protest and the MP's at check point Charlie wore Class A uniforms instead of battle dress though they were still armed and escapes or crossings still happened😂😂😂😂😂

Wow, can’t believe I got to this video while it’s under a thousand views, such a delight to witness history… stuff that actually occurred. “History repeats itself”

No one would have done anything. It's a Hollywood production a copy of High Noon.
