Dear all,
I teach history at the University of Reading and am currently working on a book on Cold War Berlin. If anybody served there and has memories to share, of life in Berlin, incidents with the East Germans or Soviets, anecdotes of British-German encounters, at any point 1945-1990, please get in touch. I am based in Warwickshire and happy to do recorded interviews within reasonable range, or to see what emerges on this site. Any tips/pointers gratefully accepted. (I myself lived in Berlin in 1985-86 and in NRW 1988-9.)
