Berlin, June 6,
1954: Two servicemen pause at the
Brandenburg Gate, which is festooned with large banners for a communist youth
rally taking place on the other side. The gate still bears the scars of World
War II; missing is the Quadriga statue, badly damaged in the allied assault and
being recast from the original mold. It was put back atop the gate in 1958.
