As a Berliner, I have come to know a city in transition over the course of my life. When I was born, there was still East and West Berlin, and today I live in a united Berlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
As a West Berliner, I still live in Spandau. This is the district that was assigned to the British during the Allied occupation.
I grew up with the soldiers. They did my English homework during boring bus rides or crawled through the small strip of woods next to the house during exercises.
When I turned 18, I started working as a German auxiliary for the Royal Air Force. I spent countless nights, besides my studies, looking after the children of the officers’ families and became unemployed when the troops withdrew in 1994.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So what could be more natural than to visit the Allied Museum and reminisce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
