Within this collection, significant historical moments are vividly captured, such as scenes at the Brandenburg Gate border crossing, families waving to each other across the wall, border officials stationed at Potsdamer Platz and Bernauer Strasse, and the iconic confrontation between Russian and American tanks at Checkpoint Charlie. This remarkable archive holds immense historical significance, offering a poignant glimpse into a pivotal period in Berlin's history. – Some buckling, creases and pressure marks, otherwise in very good condition.
