this was my 3rd visit to Checkpoint Charlie and nice to see for the 1st time with the wall down and a brilliant museum to explain what it was all about. For those who don't know I was arrested in 1971 when I walked on the grass cutting off a corner in East Berlin just inside Checkpoint Charlie and nearly got myself locked up. The eventually let me go and I was able to get out and catch my flight back to Hanover. Heard later about an American who was held for 4 months for complaining about something over there so I was pretty lucky.
