In June 1963, U.S. President John F. Kennedy visited West Berlin as part of his visit to Germany. The photograph shows the convoy with police motorcycle escort; in the background, barbed wire, a wall, and positioned tanks are visible—visible signs of Berlin’s division since the construction of the wall in 1961. Kennedy’s visit was regarded as a clear signal of Western solidarity with the encircled city.
