Pinsteps. Checkpoint Charlie
Places to visit in Berlin. Languages: ru, he, en

A wooden house with a low roof, bags of cement folded into a high parapet and poured with water (the fastest and simple fortification system, widely used by the English during the First World War) - that’s the whole checkpoint. But it was near this house that American and Soviet tanks stood face to face during the Caribbean crisis, when Khrushchev and Kennedy were on the verge of a third world war. Today there are crowds of tourists and not to visit Charlie's Checkpoint, but how much stress and symbolism its modest details retain. Translated with Google Translate
