Talking of armed police... 14:17 - Jul 31 with 3689 viewsbluelagos

I did something this morning that in the 80s would have likely got me shot. Will be doing it again tomorrow and on Friday morning too.

Any takers? Cyber pint for the first lucky guess...

Nope. Clue 2.

You've crossed what was previously a border?

Yep. Rode from what was East Germany to West Germany. There is a cutting in the trees and even an old lookout where border guards would shoot anyone looking to escape the iron curtain.

Crazy to think this was happening in my lifetime.

Never understood how The Hoff got so popular in Germany.

One of life's mysteries, like Westlife being popular in Nigeria 20 odd years ago.

That has always been a weird old feeling whenever I've been there; in particular being able to casually stroll along the death strip just north of Nordbahnhof where they have the Gedenkstätte Berliner Mauer installation running up Bernauer Straße.

I was born just too late (1988) to have been able to see/understand it as it happened, but I would love to somehow have the ability to go back to 1970s/80s Berlin and experience the city as it was back then.

My partner is Eastern European and took part in protests just before the wall came down. She was a teenager at school and her teachers took her down to protest the evils of communist rule.

At a similar age, the extent of my political activism was a couple of anti-apartheid rallies.

Sorry. I thought you said the 1960s. It was illegal then and still might get you shot today.

I think it was to do with his song "Looking For Freedom" which just so happened to become an anthem for the Berlin wall coming down and the re-unification of Germany.

Still some like to sport the hammer and scythe (or sickle?) as a political statement. I don't know why we don't treat it with the same contempt as we do the Swastika, honestly. Communism has killed more after all.

Makes sense with a name like Hasselhoff. Apparently his albums bombed in the US but they sold very well in Germany and Austria.
