In June 1963, U.S. President John F. Kennedy visited the Federal Republic of Germany and West Berlin. The photograph shows a welcoming ceremony at an airfield, as took place at several stops along the journey—including Cologne, Bonn, and West Berlin. Such receptions with military honor guards and delegations were a fixed part of the ceremonial framework of the state visit. The visit took place in the context of the Cold War and served to reaffirm the transatlantic partnership.
