Today we talk with Sammy, who as a native West Berliner, describes growing up in the city

during the 1970s and 80s. He describes in detail the difference between West Berlin and West Germany,

including its position as a special political entity, how the death penalty in West Berlin was only abolished in 1989, and how as a child he was obsessed with spy movies, spy books and Cold War activities.
