Comment on my own post--a test!

This photo was taken from the eastern side, so in effect, I was standing in what used to be East Berlin, right in the center of the Todestreifen, the "death strip" which was mined, covered by automatic guns, and guarded by Grenzentruppen (border guards) and dogs. While I was there in the summer of 2004, an exhibit had been put up below the wall on the "Peoples' Tribunals" which were the kangaroo courts used by the Nazis to try and, of course, convict "enemies of the State".
