Germany - East Berlin - Platz der Akademie - Saturday, February 20, 1960

We first went to Brandenburg Gate which separates the Eastern and Western zones. While here, we heard a lovely propaganda speech on East Germany and received some literature on this new German Democratic Republic concerning its five year plans. As we proceeded through the almost deserted streets (quite a comparison to West Germany), we saw shop windows with practically no merchandise displayed and many bombed-out buildings and sections which have never been rebuilt.
