1959 Press Photo Baked Goods Vendor on East Berlin Street, Germany - mjb22597

A well fed East German vendor baked goods awaits customers on an east Berlin street. On the wall at left is the ever present picture of Communist boss Walter Ulbricht, shaking hands with Khrushchev. (Germany - East) In drab, workaday East Berlin propaganda of the Soviets is always somewhere about or on the air. This vendor of bakery rolls and bread stands beside his portable showcase next to a poster showing Nikita Khrushchev shaking hands with East Germany's Communist boss Walter Ulbricht. In background pedestrians trudge to and from their tasks. The 1,100,000 people of East Berlin live in a refrain of praises for the Soviet way of life.
