Literally hours before this, Gunter Schabowksi, an East German Politburo member, was giving a press conference when he was asked about when new travel regulations would take effect.
He didn’t actually know the answer, so decided to say: “As far as I know, effective immediately, without delay”. From there, it was game over. This picture was taken only hours after that press conference.
