In vain—the die had been cast, and the spheres of influence between the U.S. and the Soviet Union had been delineated. Eyewitness and TV journalist Alexander Kulpok recounts, with audio and video clips, those eventful days and years that changed Germany and the world.
Afterward, there will be an opportunity for a friendly get-together over a cold beer or other beverages and snacks.
