The villa before the fall of the Berlin Wall, with the famous Wall dominating the photo. You can see how close the wall was to the house. If you look carefully, you can see two flags in this image. The flag on the right appears as only a red flash between two of the columns. This is the Soviet flag which was displayed in only a few places in the Berlin area. The Glienicke Bridge served as the official access to the allied Military Mission in Potsdam.
