When the crowd reached the massive new Soviet embassy on Unter den Linden, a pair of Soviet reconnaissance cars wheeled to face the crowd. Soldiers somberly pointed machine guns above the heads of the marchers. Six mobile antiaircraft trucks twisted through the crowd, nose to tail, like a team of prodding sheep dogs, to press the movement past and on to other places.

On the big day, the Communist youngsters were awakened by buglers before dawn. By 7 they had begun to march down Unter den Linden toward the Lustgarten. The route of march was plastered with flags and big propaganda posters, depicting the standard Russian heroes (Lenin, Stalin, Mao Tse-tung) and evil-looking "dollar imperialists." One poster showed a trio of capitalist exploiters in Edwardian garb, complete with grey toppers. With the kids marched 10,000 grim-faced "Special...
