West Berlin, June 11, 1982: First lady Nancy Reagan, U.S. Ambassador Arthur Burns and West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt applaud as President Reagan pauses during a speech to 20,000 people who were invited to a garden party at Charlottenburg Castle. During his three-hour stop in Berlin, Reagan challenged the Soviet Bloc to "think of your own coming generations. Do the Soviet leaders want to be remembered for a prison wall ... with barbed wire and armed guards whose weapons are aimed at innocent civilians — their own civilians?"
