Description: Police personnel (NCOs and enlisted men) of the East German Volkspolizei wait for the official opening of the Brandenburg Gate december 22nd 1989. (Original text "East German guards wait for the official opening of the Brandenburg Gate" and the title is wrong: These are not officers of the border guards (Grenztruppen der DDR), but the support and rapid reaction units of the police (Bereitschaftspolizei der Volkspolizei). These were used as additional support for special events.)
