EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in a moment frozen in time, this powerful print showcases General Bruce C Clarke, Commander In Chief of the US Army in Europe, standing alongside West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt at the iconic Brandenburg Gate. The date is August 16th, 1961 - a mere three days after the construction of the infamous Berlin Wall began. In this poignant image, we witness an extraordinary juxtaposition between two worlds divided by ideology and conflict. As General Clarke and Mayor Brandt stand united on one side of the gate, their faces etched with determination and resilience, a menacing East German heavy armoured water thrower looms ominously behind them. Its jet nozzle trained directly at these courageous men who symbolize freedom and hope for those trapped behind the newly erected barrier. This photograph encapsulates not only a significant moment in history but also serves as a reminder of the stark realities faced during the Cold War era. It captures both physical boundaries and emotional divisions that tore families apart and tested global alliances. Terry Fincher's expert lens beautifully captures this historic encounter against an imposing backdrop - an enduring testament to human strength amidst adversity. This print from Memory Lane Prints allows us to reflect upon our past while honoring those who fought tirelessly for unity and liberty.
