Roy..... You spastic In 1988, West Berlin remained a political anomaly. It was a Western enclave entirely surrounded by the German Democratic Republic, and its status was never formally recognized as part of the Federal Republic of Germany by East German authorities. That ambiguity is clearly reflected in how the city was mapped.
East German maps often depicted West Berlin not as a normal urban area, but as a blank or minimally detailed space, sharply outlined and visually isolated from its surroundings. Streets, districts, and infrastructure inside the enclave were frequently omitted or generalized, reinforcing the idea that this territory was separate and externally controlled.
This cartographic treatment was not a technical limitation but a political choice. Maps in the GDR were state regulated tools, intended to align with official ideology and legal positions. By reducing West Berlin to an abstract shape, the map communicated sovereignty claims and geopolitical distance as much as geography.
Viewed today, these maps offer more than spatial information. They reveal how power, legitimacy, and borders were asserted through design choices, turning cartography into a quiet but persistent instrument of Cold War politics.
I'm in agony with my neck; I can hardly move it.
Still plenty of green coming from my nose, my cough is really getting me down, stops me from sleeping.
I should sleep sitting up
Cranky , with all due respect, but you need to know this. I think I may have mentioned in the past but I will reiterate as I do understand that you too are, an American and so can be a little bit dim witted like the rest of them even the president, which I noticed on your post even Donald cant spell basic words correctly either, but I digress and for that I apologize . But back to my initial point. " I couldn't give two fucking big shites what happens in the USA , what they do, what they say, who they bully, what shite they talk, who they murder at sea . I don't fucking care" .
something not right about that ski resort fire , its like something that happens in the 3rd world (shithole) , i would be taking a look at who the staff are , i suspect they may not have been hired for their skills but rather DEI , not suggesting anything deliberate , maybe just a case of not having a clue what they were doing !

TYRANNY ALERT!! Israeli cybersecurity kingpin, Shlomo Kramer says "it's time to limit the First Amendment."
"We need to control all the social platforms…And take control of what they are saying."
We are witnessing the implementation of Netanyahu‘s 8th front WAR in the United States.
