Original Caption

"Working together to direct traffic in Invalidenstraße was previously unthinkable. The West Berlin policeman (at the back) stands on East Berlin territory. The white stripe on the road delineates the GDR state border. The border guard is interested in the "West newspaper", a copy of the "BZ" featuring the headline "The Wall is gone"."
