Spent 3 good years in Berlin whilst in the RAF 1970-73 , the difference between the two sides of the wall were staggering .Once went on a coach tour of the east and after getting lost we ended up in the back streets and I can vividly remember looking into a grocery shop window and all that was there was a few tins of food . At night the west was all lit up while it looked like all the lights had been turned off in the east . Met my wife whilst there............first date Hertha BSC v Bayern Munich in the Olympic stadium !!!!West German citizens were encouraged to move to West Berlin , in doing so they could avoid National Service and the pay was a lot higher and families were financially rewarded to stay in the city . Went back in 1988 and my wife and I are looking to go back next year sometime
Broadway Hotel. Out of my skull.
