Pictures from Berlin, June 28th-July02 2010

Here's some pictures taken a couple of weeks ago in Berlin. Note the 'Barkas' Prisoner transport van, which had 6 individual prisoner cages inside. The exterior of these vans were made to look like shop delivery vans, to look inconspicuous. This remarkably well preserved example is in 'Hohenschonhausen' Prison in East Berlin, also known as the Stasi Prison.
This was a remand prison in a secret location, known only to it's employees and old maps of Berlin showed a blank spot where this area should have been. This vehicle remarkably was powered by the wartburg 353 engine of 991cc. Further evidence of what a good engine this two stroke unit was.
