Witness History

A child's eye view of life in the ruined German capital after the end of World War II. Food and fuel were scarce and Berliners had to live on their wits. Christine Buschschluter was just three years old when Berlin fell to Soviet soldiers but she remembers life in the occupied city with a mixture of humour and pride.
