Notes:
* Spec5 - Specialist 5 (E-5). This insignia is actually early '60s,
when they changed to a wider version for the men.
* Berlin Brigade - American component of Berlin garrison. Created
circa 1946, and dissolved 1994.
* NVA - Nationale Volks Armee, the East German army
* Berlin Wall - 13ft high concrete wall. Wooden fence functions here as
cheap stand-in.
