Soviet tanks in East Berlin

Caption

Soviet tanks in the early hours of the morning in East Berlin on 28 October 1961. After an incident at the border crossing-point Friedrichstraße "Checkpoint Charlie", tanks of the U.S. and the Soviet army drove up on both sides of the border, but withdraw after one day. From 13 August 1961, the day of the building of the Berlin Wall, to the fall of the Berlin Wall on 9 November 1989, the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR were separated by the Iron Curtain between West and East.
