East Berlin Trabants & other classic cars 1989

Plenty of Trabants and Wartburgs here, but this is no classic car rally......just an ordinary summer day in communist East Berlin, East Germany in June 1989, just weeks before the Iron Curtain of communism came crashing down right across Eastern Europe. Filmed at Rosa Luxemburg Platz with a camcorder smuggled in from the West.

Die Bilder können nur nach dem Mauerfall entstanden sein. Das Rote Kreuz der DDR fuhr garantiert nicht Mercedes. Trotzdem sehr schöne Bilder.
