Fritz Lang

One of the few names I recognize in German cinema is Fritz Lang. While I've never seen any of his films, the cool-factor of his movies like "Metropolis" is evident.
I would love to have these movie posters full size, but these postcard versions will have to suffice.

Josephine Baker und Marlene Dietrich

Over in Potsdamer Platz in Berlin is the super-cool Deutsche Kinemathek Film and TV Museum. Since my knowledge about German cinema is woefully lacking, I was enraptured with all they had on display.
Rummaging through the gift shop, I found these picture postcards of Madame Baker and Frau Dietrich that I've never seen. Thought I'd share.

Checkpoint Charlie

Back in 2008, we visited Berlin, Germany and took the tour of the Checkpoint Charlie museum. Really fascinating stuff and deeply emotional. I recently discovered in one of my infamous unmarked storage bags, that I bought some nifty postcards from the museum. I'm posting them here.
This was the sector sign at Checkpoint Charlie.
The back of this postcard reads: "Conrad Schumann, the GDR border guard, escapes to the West."
