On the Western Side



Life on the Western Side: Offleben



At one border overlook I watched a couple of East German guards busying themselves at the base of a watchtower. Suddenly, they made a beeline for a gate in the fence, entered the no man's land and stood just a few feet across the border from me. One of them began taking pictures, the other turned his back as I set up my camera and photographed them. Brian Rose
