I was lucky enough to tour eastern Germany and West Berlin during the years of the Iron Curtain, in 1985. A few quick scans as I came across these old photos...

Looking at the wall separating East and West Berlin seen from the West Berlin side...

Brandenburger Tor in no man's land

Looking at the Berlin wall

Looking over the Berlin wall towards East Berlin

And in East Berlin, where the choice of cars was limited to two models (the 2 pot 2 stroke Trabant and the *luxurious* Wartburg), you really did stick out in a 190E!
