At first, the restrictions were mild, much as we’re seeing in countries like the US today – more red tape, longer waits, etc. Not so much a ban on travel as a nuisance. Today, as in Germany in 1945, the would-be traveler is getting used to the idea of gaining approval to travel. Just a formality, folks, sorry for the inconvenience. But then, with little fanfare, East Germany was officially declared the Germa... read more

It is our best hope for the future to avoid a new Cold War. My father enlisted in the Air Force during the iciest stretch of the Cold War—1958.
