Where Were You? When the Berlin Wall Came Down  
IN THE PAST 

Tags: Berlin Wall, Germany, Brick, Down, Demolished, History

The Berlin Wall came down on November 9, 1989. Where were you and what were you doing?

	I was in Berlin on 9 November 1989. I was a US Army intelligence officer working for Allied Forces.
	We heard on the TV that some border points had opened and I left my wife and young daughter to see what was going on at Check Point Charlie.
	Arriving at the checkpoint there was a large crowd on the Western side.
	Climbing a fence I could see large numbers of people on the Eastern side.
	At about that time there was an announcement that East Germans would be allowed to visit the West but would require a stamp which would be issued the following morning.
