Original Caption

"It kind of looked as if people were queuing up at the container. But in actual fact, they were looking towards Potsdamer Platz where the Wall was supposed to be opened. The place was full of excited, happy faces. There was a veritable babble of voices with the occasional call: 'When are we ever going to get over to the other side?'"
