Piero Vivarelli 'Oggi a Berlino' (1962) |
Monday, September 6, 1948
As of today we not only have two city police forces, but also two city parliaments. Perhaps by tomorrow we will have two city governments and along the sector boundary a Chinese wall with battlements and watchtowers. Perhaps then one will need a visa to go from Charlottenburg to Unter den Linden. Just as we thought back then in July 1945 when the four-power occupation began. Perhaps.
