Soviet officers at British headquarters in Berlin

Soviet officers (back view) talk to an officer of the British Army (m) in the British headquarters in Berlin on the 3rd of June in 1952, after they had tried to enter the Haus des Rundfunks ('House of Broadcasting') unsuccessfully, which had been blocked completely by the British on the night of the 2nd of July. Although it was located in the British sector of Berlin, the House of Broadcasting was used by the Broadcast of Berlin and controlled by the Soviets after World War II until 1952. After a temporary blocking by the British Army, the building was given to the Senate of Berlin only in July 1956, who handed it over to the broadcaster Freies Berlin ('Free Berlin') after extensive renovation works
