Watched a 4-hour documentary on the 40th anniversary of Kennedy's Berlin visit on TV last night.

Amazing scenes. Kennedy's famous speech at the Rudolf-Wilde-Platz ("Ich bin ein Berliner") was shown in full length.

About 400,000 citizens listened to him, the number was only limited by the available space.

About 1.5 million people were cheering along the streets, basically every West Berlin citizen who was able to move watched Kennedy live. I don't know of any other occasion where the leader of a foreign country was celebrated that much.
On June 26 an exhibition on Kennedy will open:

It has been prepared by the German Historical Museum in cooperation with the JFK Institute of the Free University of Berlin.
