On June 26th 1963, the fifteenth anniversary of the Berlin airlift. US president John F. Kennedy was walking the streets of Berlin. Taking in the sight of the newly constructed Berlin Wall. Kennedy who had to give a speech later in the day had a change of heart, he disregarded the milk toast speech given to him about peace with the soviets and decided instead to craft a speech of his own. A speech that would become one of the greatest moments of the Cold War. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/abriefhistory?fan_landing=true)
