Photograph of John F. Kennedy during a speech on the occasion of his visit to Germany in June 1963. The RIAS (Radio in the American Sector) emblem visible on the lapel points to the West Berlin context of the visit. Kennedy’s journey through the Federal Republic and West Berlin served during the Cold War as a demonstration of American solidarity with the West German population, which had been under particular pressure since the construction of the Wall in 1961.
