On the afternoon of Nov. 9th 1989 deputy U.S Ambassador J, Bindenagel and GDR Lawyer Prof.Dr. Wolfgang Vogel met at a meeting on Friedrichstrasse East Berlin. After the meeting, Mr. Bindenagel offered Dr. Vogel a lift, as Prof. Dr Vogel had arrived at the meeting in East Berlin without his Golden Mercedes.
It gave opportunity for the U.S. Deputy ambassador to get the latest news of the East Germans being able to get exit visas to leave the GDR when they wished. Dr. Vogel's Mercedes according a CIA report was parked near the Ku-Dam in West Berlin. My thoughts are Why did Dr Vogel park his car in West Berlin on that eventful day ? and not at the meeting on Friedrichstrasse in East Berlin ?
