After the end of the second world war, Berlin was a divided city controlled by the four major allied powers. Despite the different zones of control, people could move freely between the zones in the city.  However, on August 13, 1961, the East German government decided to end the free travel of Berliners by building a wall around West Berlin.  For 28, the wall defined the city and served as a metaphor for the entire Cold War.

The Cold War was a major geopolitical contest between the United States and the Soviet Union over predominance over the entire world. Unlike the previous two world wars, the two superpowers could not afford to go directly to war with one another due to the reality of nuclear weapons. As a result, the covert work of spies and secret agents proved to be the main battlefield where the two superpowers would contest each other. Not surprisingly, this period also witnessed the rise of enduring staples of spy fiction - most famously Ian Fleming's fictional spy character James Bond. However, as the common saying goes, the truth is often more fascinating than fiction. Many of the true stories of covert operations and spies are covered in Andrew Long's Secrets of the Cold War: Espionage and Intelligence Operations - From Both Sides of the Iron Curtain (Pen and Sword History, 2022). Andrew Long is a British military history researcher and author. His fascination with the Cold War began with a trip to West Berlin in 1986, traveling through Checkpoint Charlie to visit the East. Andrew's writing comes from a desire to make sense of an extremely complex period in modern history, weaving together inter-relating stories involving politics, ideologies, personalities, technological advances, and geography. There is still much to be told on this fascinating subject. After a successful career in marketing, Andrew relocated to Cornwall and took up writing full time. Stephen Satkiewicz is an independent scholar whose research areas are related to Civilizational Analysis, Social Complexity, Big History, Historical Sociology, military history, War studies, International Relations, Geopolitics, as well as Russian and East European history.

Vinyl is divine again it seems. You can't argue with the numbers. As reported on The Daily Aus Instagram feed, vinyl records out sold compact discs in the US for the first time since 1987. Think back, '87 was the year then US President Ronald Reagan visited West Berlin calling on the leader of the then USSR, Mikhail Gorbachev to pull down the Berlin Wall. Here in Australia Labor Leader Bob Hawke won a third term in government - the first time Labor had won three consecutive elections, and the number one song for 1987 on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 was from The Bangles, Walk Like An Egyptian. I probably bought the single on a 45 back then. The milestone in 2023 was not just a small margin, it was quite sizeable. My good friend Grant will join me on this episode to talk about his love of vinyl and something new that he's working on. The RIAA - that's the Record Industry Association of America, has revealed 41 million vinyl records were sold in 2022, compared to 33 million CD's. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpwn9aOrB5o/ My guest is Grant Baensch.

After World War Two, Germany was split up and occupied by the United States, France, Britain and the Soviet Union. In June of 1948, the U.S., France, and Britain announced they were creating a unified West German currency. Joseph Stalin opposed this unification, and cut off land routes from Berlin to West Germany.  In order to bypass the land routes, bombers transported supplies (primarily food) and delivered them to West Berlin in what was called Operation Vittles. Colonel Gail S. Halvorsen was one of several pilots recruited to fly these missions. One day, after sneaking out and flying to Berlin for some R&R, COL Halvorsen met some local children who were survivors of the war. Talking with them changed his life, and he decided he wanted to do something to help them. He returned to base, gathered as much candy and gum as he could, fashioned parachutes with handkerchiefs, and put all the goodies inside. The next day, he flew over West Berlin and dropped the parachutes full of candy out of his bomb bay.  The children were delighted. COL Halvorsen did this several more times, and gained international acclaim for his actions. To learn more about COL Halvorsen, check out his book, The Berlin Candy Bomber.

Fehlende Wahlzettel, geschlossene Wahllokale, Stimmabgabe nach Verkündigung der ersten Hochrechnungen: Das Chaos bei der Abgeordnetenhauswahl in Berlin vom 26. September führt zu einem Novum in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik – zum ersten Mal muss eine Landtagswahl wiederholt werden. Am kommenden Sonntag ist es so weit. Wie wird sich der Unmut über das Debakel auf das Wahlergebnis auswirken? Was ist dran an der These von der Unregierbarkeit Berlins, am Vorwurf von der "failed city"? Warum ist die Stadt so weltoffen, ihre Politik aber so provinziell? Die Berliner Wiederholungswahl hat Bedeutung über die Landtagswahl hinaus. Sie wird das Bild der deutschen Hauptstadt prägen, einer Stadt, über die alle gern lästern – und in der dennoch sehr viele gern leben würden. In der neuen Folge von "Das Politikteil" sprechen wir mit der Hauptstadtkorrespondentin der ZEIT, Mariam Lau, über die Absurditäten einer Wiederholungswahl, über die Besonderheiten des politischen Milieus in Berlin – und warum "arm, aber sexy" ein Label ist, das noch nie gestimmt hat. Mariam Lau erläutert, warum Berlin eine kulturell linke Stadt ist und wie sich das im Alltag zeigt, wieso die Hauptstadt-CDU es ablehnte, den Partei-Promi Jens Spahn als Spitzenkandidaten zu nominieren und weshalb die Regierende Bürgermeisterin Franziska Giffey (SPD) trotzdem um ihren Posten bangen muss.  Und am Ende der Folge verrät sie auch noch, wie Berlin sein Image als Unregierbare überwinden kann – per Gedicht. Mariam Lau ist eine Urberlinerin – mit Geburtsort Teheran. Im Alter von drei Jahren kam sie in die damals noch geteilte Stadt und wuchs in West-Berlin auf. Nach Stationen bei "taz" und "Welt" schreibt sie seit 2010 für die ZEIT. Im Podcast "Das Politikteil" sprechen wir jede Woche über das, was die Politik beschäftigt, erklären die Hintergründe, diskutieren die Zusammenhänge. Immer freitags mit zwei Moderatoren, einem Gast – und einem Geräusch. Im Wechsel sind als Gastgeber Tina Hildebrandt und Heinrich Wefing oder Ileana Grabitz und Peter Dausend zu hören.

Hugo Race in conversation with David Eastaugh http://www.hugoracemusic.com Originally from the 1980's Melbourne post-punk music scene, Hugo began writing for avantgarde theatre in Melbourne after winning a playwriting prize at age 16. Recruited by Nick Cave for his nascent Bad Seeds, he recorded on the first Seeds album and toured the world. Following this full immersion in the global post-punk scene, Hugo returned to Melbourne to create his first major band The Wreckery. Although The Wreckery produced several hit independent Australian singles and some remarkably ahead-of-their-time albums, the band never played outside Australia/NZ. By the end of the 1980s, Hugo had moved to Europe, first to London and then to West Berlin, where Hugo signed a record contract with German indie Normal Records (as Hugo Race & The True Spirit) releasing 5 albums– Rue Morgue Blues, Earls World, Spiritual Thirst, Stations of the Cross and Second Revelator (produced by former Bad Seed bandmate Mick Harvey). In 1995, Hugo signed with German independent label Glitterhouse Records who continue to release his work today with both The True Spirit and the Italy-based Hugo Race Fatalists who have released 3 critically acclaimed albums with a 4th album ‘Taken By The Dream' in 2019. Fatalists' 5th album, Once Upon A Time in Italy, is set for release in 2022.

For 28 years the Berlin Wall stood as a testament to the cruelties and failures of communism. While Berlin became the epicenter of the Cold War, West Berlin became an island of freedom behind the Iron Curtain. Hear why Germany was divided into two separate countries and how it finally reunited. 

We're kicking off bad romance and couples issues month with one of the greatest stories about a marriage going up in flames ever told. To try to relay the events of this movie is to grab madness itself by the horns. Rooted in his own acrimonious divorce, Polish director Andrez Zulawski's POSSESSION tells the volatile, violent, and disturbing breakup of the marriage between Mark and Anna, played in spectacular fashion by Sam Neil and Isabelle Adjani respectively. But it's also so much more than that. It dives into cosmic horror in ways that are shocking and thrilling. Through the deployment of doppelgangers it explores how we try to excise the parts of our loved ones we dislike in order to mold a more perfect union. It mirrors the tensions of its setting-Cold War era West Berlin-while also incorporating modern dance into the movements of its characters in a way that adds depth and nuance to the story. There's no way Mike could talk about this one on his own, so he's brought out two good friends and great podcasters: Jessica Scott (We Who Walk Here) and TaffetaV (Late podcast). We get down and dirty with the details of this one, while also discussing the common factors in divorce and relationships ending.

In den 1980er Jahren war alles möglich. Mitten im Kalten Krieg ist das unter alliierter Kontrolle stehende West-Berlin ein gesellschaftliches Experimentierfeld. Wehrdienstflüchtige, Künstler*innen, Studierende und viele mehr wollen in die Stadt, in der die Freiheit herrscht, obwohl sie von einer Mauer und Wachtürmen umgeben ist. Host Johannes Nichelmann erzählt in zehn Folgen von einer Zeit, in der Lebensentwürfe nicht unterschiedlicher sein könnten. Es prallen Spießertum und Junkies, Spekulationen und Hausbesetzungen, korrupte Politiker*innen und Rotlichtkönige aufeinander. Aber das Leben in West-Berlin kann auch gefährlich sein. Es gibt Mord und Terror, Straßenschlachten, Heroin und Exzesse. Korruption. Der Abgrund ist tief und wer einmal im Sumpf steckt, kommt meist nicht mehr heraus.

Welcome to another episode of The Cinedicate. This week film podcaster Ruthie from ReShoot stops in to talk about Atomic Blonde and makes a case that this spy thriller is better than the James Bond Franchise.Listen now as we discuss why Charlize Theron needs to take up more action roles and why this film is the perfect encapsulation of how to set a film in the 1980s. We also get into why this film never spawned a sequel despite being a commercial success. Only to find out that Netflix owns the rights to the film and that it is only a matter of time before we get a lackluster sequel to this awesome movie.Atomic Blonde centers around Lorraine, an undercover spy, in the heart of Berlin as the Berlin Wall is about to fall. Not only does she have to maneuver around East and West Berlin, but she is trying to retrieve a dossier that has the identities of all spies across the world.----------Listen to Ruthie on ReShoot: An Amateur's Guide to Gooder Film----------Support The Cinedicate on PatreonConnect with The Cinedicate on these social platforms!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cinedicate/Twitter: https://twitter.com/cinedicate/Discord: https://www.cinedicate.com/discord Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Marie-Claude Hawkes continues her story with her return to Berlin in 1985 as a French teaching assistant at the Havel School RAF Gatow, teaching French and taking part in school activities in West and East Berlin.Between September 86 and August 87 Marie-Claude was employed as a cartoonist for the Berlin Bulletin, the weekly magazine for the British Forces in Berlin.Marie Claude describes her experiences as a French citizen working for the British Army as well as the challenges of being a French civilian in Berlin marrying a British citizen. In February 1988 Marie-Claude started work as the Director of Extra-Mural Studies at 46 AEC (Army Education Corps), Smuts Barracks in Spandau. While organising various classes for service men/women and their ‘dependents', she also provided interpreting and trips to East Berlin for various purposes, one illegal…It's a fascinating view of Cold War Berlin from a  perspective not heard before. Episodes mentioned:The Defence of RAF Gatow https://coldwarconversations.com/episode257/Cold War history is disappearing; however, a simple monthly donation will keep this podcast on the air.

It may have been the happiest traffic jam in history. The scene: the Brandenburg Gate between East and West Berlin on an incredible November weekend years ago. Suddenly, after rapid revolutionary changes in the policies of East Germany's communist government, people could go through the wall that for 28 years had divided that city between free and communist. The cars were lined up for miles to cross that barrier that had been closed for so long. Some people drove through the wall, some people walked through the gate, some scaled fences to get there more quickly, and the news reported that tens of thousands of people began to break into a delirious chant that the whole world could hear, "The wall is gone! The wall is gone!" Well, so is yours. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "The Wall That Keeps Us From God." Now, our word for today from the Word of God comes from Isaiah 59:2 - "But your iniquities" - that's your sin; your wrong doings - "have separated you from your God. Your sins have hidden His face from you so that He will not hear." Now, when the Bible talks about iniquities here, or sin, we have to realize we're living in a world that doesn't even know what sin is or why sin is so devastating. See, sin is really a lifestyle that says, "My way, God, not yours. God, I believe in you, I go to your meetings, I give you money. But I'm going to basically run my own life. You run the universe; I'll give you a tip every once in a while, I'll do some things that I think You want me to do, but You run the universe. I'll run my life." In essence, "I'm god for me." Sin is a lifestyle that pushes God to the edges instead of having Him at the center of everything where He belongs. And that decision results in thousands of little daily choices that go against the way God meant for us to live. We all have a sin problem, and here's what the Bible says the result is - separation. "Your iniquities have separated you from your God." The result? It's a wall far more imposing than the Berlin wall ever was and with far more eternal consequences. And it may be you're experiencing that separation from God right now. You can feel it, even though you're a religious person. Right now God has the love that you've spent a lifetime looking for, but you can't get at it. It's on the other side of that wall. He's got the strength you've needed, but He's on the other side of the wall. He's got the meaning, He's got the reason you were put here, but He's on the other side of the wall. And if you die with that wall there, it's there forever. You say, "Well, Ron, I knew there was something between me and God. I've known that without hearing you tell me that." Well, the great news is earlier in this same book of the Bible. Isaiah 53:6 says this, "God has laid on Him (speaking of Christ) the iniquity of us all." All of my sin was put on Jesus Christ when He died on the cross. He was separated from God the Father so I don't ever have to be, so you don't ever have to be if we'll just pin all our hopes on Jesus. Not on a religion about Him, not on our own goodness, but on Jesus alone. You tired of a wall between you and God? You tired of being away from the God that you were made by and made for? Maybe you've tried all kinds of ways, maybe religious ways to get through that wall. But the wall is still there. Only Jesus, the Savior who died for the sins that make up the wall, can take it down. Today, right now, you could talk to Him even as we conclude and say, "Jesus, I'm pinning all my hopes on You to be forgiven, to go to heaven and to have a relationship with God." I want to invite you, if that's where you are in your heart, go to our website, will you? I've laid out there as simply as I can a very clear way to know for sure that you belong to Christ, and to know that you're going to heaven when you die. Here's that website. It's ANewStory.com. As soon as you open up to Jesus Christ, you can know the incomparable joy of a person who can finally say, "The wall is gone! The wall is gone!"

Seit Jahrzehnten gehört Thomas Hürlimann zu den führenden Schriftstellern der Schweiz. Seine Stücke, Romane und Erzählungen gehören zum Kanon der deutschsprachigen Literatur. Die Essays und Wortmeldungen im Feuilleton zeugen von einem unabhängigen und der Freiheit des Denkens verpflichteten Geist. Geboren wir Thomas Hürlimann 1950 in Zug. Sein Vater ist der Zuger Regierungsrat und spätere Bundesrat Hans Hürlimann, seine Mutter entstammt einer St. Galler CVP-Dynastie. Mit elfeinhalb Jahren tritt er in die Stiftschule des Klosters Einsiedeln ein und erlebt dort «saure Jahre» als «kahlrasiertes Mönchlein in knöchellanger Kutte». Beides, die Herkunft aus dem katholisch-konservativen Elternhaus wie die langen Jahre der Klosterschule prägen später seine Literatur, dazu der frühe Tod seines Bruders Matthias an Knochenkrebs, den er später in mehreren Werken verarbeitet. Nach der Matura studiert Thomas Hürlimann Philosophie an der Universität Zürich und ab 1974 dann an der FU in Westberlin, wobei ihm das dortige dogmatische Klima das Studium vergällt. So bricht er es ab, geht zum Theater, arbeitet als Regieassistent und Produktionsdramaturg am Schillertheater Berlin und beginnt seine Laufbahn als freischaffender Schriftsteller. Erste Erfolge hat er als Dramatiker mit «Grossvater und Halbbruder» und «Stichtag». Sein Erfolgsstück «De Franzos im Ybrig» erlebt bis zum Ausbruch von Corona über 50 Inszenierungen. 1981 macht er mit «Die Tessinerin», dem ersten Buch des neugegründeten Amman-Verlags, dessen erster Autor er wird, auch als Prosaautor zum ersten Mal auf sich aufmerksam. Spätestens aber seit dem Roman «Der grosse Kater» von 1998 gibt er als einer der führenden Schweizer Schriftsteller überhaupt. Von seiner katholischen Prägung und seinem Verhältnis zum Politikervater, von der Klosterschule und dem frühen Tod des Bruders, von seiner Haltung zur Schweiz und seinem Interesse an Mystik und natürlich auch von seinem Weg zum Schriftsteller und seinem Bezug zur Musik erzählt der Thomas Hürlimann im Gespräch mit Michael Luisier.

In Feminist Transformations and Domestic Violence Activism in Divided Berlin, 1968-2002 (Oxford University Press, 2022), Jane Freeland traces the development of the shelter movement in East and West Germany. In the 1970s, feminist activists exposed the harmful gender norms and lack of legal protections that left women vulnerable to abuse in the home. Their efforts led to the founding of the first women's shelter in West Berlin in 1976 and a broadly successful campaign that changed legal and social attitudes toward domestic abuse. Situating domestic violence activism within a broader history of feminism in post-war Germany, the book traces the evolution of this movement both across political division and reunification and from grassroots campaign to established, professionalized social service. It links histories of feminism in East and West Germany and challenges historiographies of reunification that focus on feminist failures. Feminist Transformations reflects on the tensions between the activists who founded the shelter movement and the media and bureaucratic institutions that helped build popular and political support, with important consequences for the trajectory of German feminism up to today.

    I have been a casual fan of Manuel Gottsching for a long time but I never really dug into his discography until the last few days with the news of his passing. I don't have time to write much about him so I'll cut & paste a few things from Pitchfork. "Manuel Gottsching, the Ash Ra Tempel bandleader who went on to compose the electronic cornerstone album E2-E4, died last Sunday (December 4). Göttsching made his name in the West Berlin underground scene in the late 1960s and early '70s. He was a core member of Ash Ra Tempel, a krautrock linchpin with revolving members including Tangerine Dream's Klaus Schulze. The loose, shapeshifting outfit released five influential albums between 1971 and 1973. Göttsching's solo debut, 1975's Inventions for Electric Guitar, was subtitled Ash Ra Tempel VI; from then on he mostly produced records under his own name or as Ashra, such as the 1976 classic New Age of Earth. In 1981, after a visit to Schulze, Göttsching improvised the composition that became known as E2-E4, hoping to throw together some listening material for an imminent trip. That mysteriously perfect hourlong exercise, which combined Prophet 10 synth pulses with waves of electronic percussion and electric guitar, came to define his post-krautrock output. After composing the track, Göttsching later recalled, the billionaire and Virgin Records owner Richard Branson invited him to his houseboat and, upon hearing the track, advised Göttsching that it could make him a fortune. But Göttsching decided to release the full improvisation on his friend Schulze's label, without overdubs, in 1984, and it appeared to have little impact. Though E2-E4 sold poorly, it had—unbeknownst to Göttsching—made its way across the Atlantic and into Larry Levan's Paradise Garage sets, as well as the collections of key electronic music innovators. As Pitchfork's Mark Richardson wrote in a 2016 review, the improvisation “wound its way across the world, morphing and changing with formats and remixes, finding new contexts, a music that is constantly in the process of becoming.” It was a nice trip through Gottsching's music making this mix. I hope he is improvising with his buddy Klaus somewhere.

Internetikone, Welterklärer, digitaler Hoffnarr: Sascha Lobo wurden schon viele Titel verliehen. Der Autor, Redner, Podcaster und Unternehmer ist zu Gast in der neuen Folge von "Alles gesagt?", dem unendlichen Podcast. Er hat Begriffe wie Shitstorm oder digitale Bohème mitgeprägt und erzählt von seinen Erfolgen und Flops, von falschen Prognosen sowie verschwundenen Phänomenen des Digitalzeitalters – und warum er trotz aller globalen Krisen bis heute Optimist geblieben ist. Sascha Lobo wurde 1975 in Westberlin als Sohn einer Deutschen und eines Argentiniers geboren, hat deshalb früh, wie er sagt, das Übersetzen zwischen zwei Kulturen gelernt. Er ist zum zweiten Mal verheiratet und hat mit seiner Frau Jule Lobo nicht nur einen gemeinsamen Podcast, sondern auch zwei Kinder. Seit fast zwei Jahrzehnten veröffentlicht Sascha Lobo Bücher, die oft Bestseller werden – sein erfolgreichstes, "Realitätschock", ist 2019 erschienen. Er sagt, dass heute nicht mehr die Jungen von den Alten, sondern die Alten von den Jungen lernen sollten, dass Wissensvermittlung auf TikTok unterschätzt wird – und wie es kam, dass er als Nachtwächter für eine Computermesse 1996 zum ersten Mal im Internet war. Früher hat Sascha Lobo über Twitter zu öffentlichen Partys in seine Wohnung geladen – heute folgen ihm dort fast 775.000 Accounts. Er erzählt von seinen Hintergrundgesprächen mit dem Bundeskanzler, erklärt, warum er seine Kinder im Netz zeigen würde, seine Frau aber nicht – und warum er die Farbe seines Irokesenhaarschnitts geändert hat. Nach 6 Stunden und 20 Minuten beendet Sascha Lobo das Gespräch, denn das kann bei "Alles gesagt?" nur der Gast.

From the moment East Germany was formed in 1949, many of its citizens chose to leave to start a new life in the West. By the mid-1950s, the trickle had turned into a flood as large numbers rejected Walter Ulbricht's Communist paradise. His ‘Workers' & Peasants' State' could not afford to lose the skills and productivity of these key workers, so he proposed a radical solution - to physically fence in the whole population. I speak with Andrew Long, the author of a series of books about Cold War Berlin as we explore the background and build-up to the building of the Berlin Wall, from the closing of the Inner German border to the momentous events of August 1961.We examine in detail how Operation Rose, the operation to close the border between East and West Berlin, was planned and executed and look at how the West reacted.BOOK GIVEAWAY detail here https://coldwarconversations.com/episode263/Buy Andrew's books here https://amzn.to/3hI6N2Y and support the podcast.Cold War history is disappearing; however, a simple monthly donation will keep this podcast on the air.

Dave Phillips is a Yeoman Warder at the Tower of London. The Yeoman Warders have been guarding the Tower since Tudor times. Dave joined the British Army aged 16 into the Royal Irish Rangers. We hear of his early years in the Army in Northern Ireland and his posting to West Berlin.In West Berlin Dave is part of the force that guarded Rudolf Hess, a leading member of the Nazi Party in Nazi Germany and appointed Deputy Führer to Adolf Hitler in 1933. On 10 May 1941, Hess made a solo flight to Scotland, where he hoped to arrange peace talks with the British. He was arrested and stood trial at the 1946 Nuremberg trials of major war criminals. The court convicted him of crimes against peace and of conspiracy with other German leaders to commit crimes and was given a life sentence in Berlin's Spandau Prison. Dave describes interactions with Hess, as well as the guard duties and operation of the prison. Cold War history is disappearing; however, a simple monthly donation will keep this podcast on the air.

On January 3rd, 1990, days after a unified East and West Berlin welcomed the new decade with a memorable New Years celebration a few feet away from Brandenburg Gate, German producers Luca Anzilotti and Michael Münzing unleashed "The Power," a song that blended soul, dance, and rap sounds. Though they weren't the first to come up with this fusion, the result was one of the most recognizable songs of all time and a symbol of the often problematic practices found in relationships between artists and production teams.Penny Ford, a vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and composer with years working alongside greats like Chaka Khan, Joni Mitchell, Zapp, and the Gap Band, was caught in the whirlwind of it all, and saw her life completely turned upside down by the unexpected opportunity of fronting the Snap! project, and securing its afterlife for the next three decades.Show TracklistingIn The Name Of Love (Sharon Redd)Tell Me Something Good (Rufus feat.

Trevor Howie's role at RAF Gatow was advising the Station Commander on Station defence during times of war, tension or terrorist threat as well as the defence of 26 Signals Unit at the Teufelsberg listening post.  RAF Gatow's western side was located right against the Berlin Wall which was clearly visible from the control tower. Beyond the Wall was the Döberitz training area for the Soviet and East German Army. Soviet jets regularly overflew West Berlin emitting sonic booms to underline the immediate threat from their forces. To gain intelligence about the opposition Trevor used the resident De Havilland Chipmunk aircraft to see across the Wall and observe the neighbouring Soviet and East German forces. He describes the defence plans and exercises such as Exercise Grizzly Bear where every member of the air station would have played a part in its defence.Trevor vividly describes how he heard that the Wall had opened on 9th November 1989. It's a fascinating view of British forces in Berlin and their plans should the Cold War have turned hot.Cold War history is disappearing; however, a simple monthly donation will keep this podcast on the air.

Following his RAF Regiment officer training Trevor Howie was posted to 34 Sqn at Raf Akrotiri in Cyprus, commanding  C Flight. The RAF regiment was effectively the Royal Air Force's infantry, providing ground defence for air operations.34 Sqn had a dual role of providing defence at Akrotiri and in the event of war at RAF Wildenrath in Germany. Trevor vividly describes his time at Akrotiri, including terrorist threats and realistic anti-riot training exercises the enthusiasm of the  Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders required a hospital ward to be kept available for casualties.   In 1986 Trevor became involved in Nuclear Weapon Security training, where the training techniques he introduced were the subject of complaints. His service also includes stints at RAF Greenham Common where he describes providing support to the US nuclear-armed cruise missile deployment there. Don't miss next week's episode where Trevor is posted to RAF Gatow in West Berlin as the Station Regiment Officer,  responsible for advising the Station Commander on how to defend the Station during times of war, tension or terrorist threat.Cold War history is disappearing; however, a simple monthly donation will keep this podcast on the air.

On June 24, 1948, the Soviet Union placed a blockade on Berlin's American, British, and French-occupied zones.  No food, fuel, or supplies could enter the area known as West Berlin.  Many people thought that either the allies would have to capitulate or engage in an armed conflict. However, the Americans and British eventually figured out another way around the blockade.
