Photos of Berlin - a world on the brink

Though it was only 75 years ago, it is a world we can envy today. We can't go back in time, but we can experience it to some degree through photographs. Here are some I found in Die Welt Zeitung.

In 1936 AGFA color slides, made in Germany, were put on the market. Oh, the nostalgia.
