Original Caption

"Standing in front of their sentry boxes, two British military personnel watch what's happening at the Allied border control point on the Invalidenstraße. Their faces register surprise, but also aloofness. They were as taken aback as the GDR border police had been that evening. West Berliners had forced open the border just before."
