Abstract: US President John Kennedy spent a single day in Berlin, where he gave one of his most famous speeches. The visit was intended to signalize America’s strong and undivided support of the divided city. Well before the formal announcement of the visit, East Germany agencies knew of the planned trip. East German records show the extent of the concern and the measures to counter the President’s visit. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
