Three-day pass to Berlin - 1968

  Sp5 Joe Cyr is pictured on a brief "R&R" that included West and East Berlin. The small garden next to the Berlin Wall (2nd photo below) was a memorial to someone killed near that spot while trying to escape East Berlin. Further below is Joe's rail ticket for the return to Frankfurt. It still seems hard to believe that, even in the thick of the Cold War, American GI's were allowed inside East Berlin on bus tours.
