Arnold and Newlin: West and East Berlin 1973

Arnie and Newlin cross from West Berlin to East Berlin via Checkpoint Charlie, a famous symbol of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the U.S. In East Berlin they see the ruins of the bombed out French Church of Friedrichstadt (the so-called French Cathedral), which was not rebuilt until the late 1970s.
