Goodbye Checkpoint Charlie by CliffClaven
Getting to Dresden is easy nowadays. No need to apply weeks, if not months, in advance for an East German visa, no tedious currency restrictions, no surly border guards rummaging through your luggage. In the old days, the most famous crossing point into the old German Democratic Republic was Checkpoint Charlie between the American and Russian sectors of Berlin. Those were the days when any trip to the East was like a Le Carré novel.
