Berlin Tempelhof 2216-2-2

An iconic symbol of the slow death of the Cold War, and thus an appropriate end to the posting of photos from my Spring explorations of some sites related to 20th century fascism/totalitarianism.

From the operational side of Tempelhof; the plane sitting on the tarmac is a C-54 (DC-4) commemorating the role of the airport in the Berlin Airlift. The airport closed in 2008 due to being too small for the demands of modern commercial aviation. The runway and taxi areas are now one huge park.
