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."
