john kennedy in berlin,june 26,1963.
this was the famous "ich bin ein berliner" speech,when president kennedy urged east germany to pull down the berlin wall.
"There are many people in the world who really don't understand, or say they don't, what is the great issue between the free world and the Communist world.Let them come to Berlin.There are some who say that communism is the wave of the future.Let them come to Berlin.And there are some who say, in Europe and elsewhere, we can work with the Communists.
Let them come to Berlin.I AM A BERLINER."
this was possibly the most famous speech of the cold war,ahead of churchill's famous "iron curtain" speeech.
