Summary[edit]

Description

Glienicker Brucke Otherwise known as the Bridge of Spies, Glienicke Bridge was a restricted border crossing between the Eastern Bloc (namely Potsdam in East Germany) and territory affiliated with the Western powers (namely the American sector of West Berlin), American and Soviet authorities used the bridge as a exchange point for captured spies during the Cold War. The first prisoner exchange took place on 10 February 1962 when Americans released Rudolf Abel, convicted for spying for the Soviet Union in 1957, in exchange for Gary Powers, the pilot of a U-2 spy plane shot down in 1960. Here we see an American patrol in the early days of the cold war, before concrete barriers were installed on the bridge.
