Germany - Lithuania - Poland

Jul. 07, 1961 - 7-7-61 Berlin A divided city The traffic in all Berlin is free by an order of the former Control Council for Germany and a declaration of the free traffic between the Soviets and the Western Allied Powers made in 1949. But all other things are divided. For example, Berlin has two currencies the Deutschmark of the Federal Republic of Germany in West Berlin and the so called Eastmark in the Soviet sector. The present rate of exchange is 100 Deutschmarks by 460 Eastmarks. Photo Shows: The present Berlin crisis forces residents of the Soviet sector of Berlin to change their money. This results in very long queues every day at places such as the West Berlin Zoo
