Berlin Wall

Gents


I'm wondering what the mood was in the RAF, but especially RAFG, when the Berlin Wall came down. Was it initially a (brief) period of heightened tension due to uncertainty, or was it instantly apparent that the RAF was going to be decimated due to the "peace dividend"? How did you all feel in those first few days and weeks? I spoke to a West German working in Cyprus, a year or two after it came down and he said your average West German resident wished it had been built back up again after the initial euphoria had subsided.
