This week is the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
There is a famous photo out there of an East German soldier throwing a
Frisbee through a big hole in the wall. Does anybody have a copy of
that photo they can post?

Yep....that is one of the more famous "historic" disc photos.

The Freestyle Players Assoc. have the credit info listed on their
site: http://www.freestyledisc.org/oddsandends.html

It reads:

"This East German border guard used a backhand throw to toss the disc
through the crumbling Berlin Wall, February 1990. This photo is on
display in the German Sport Museum in Cologne and the German Museum
for Customs Affairs. Copyright Ralf Dentzer."

The photo is also in the Ultimate history book, "ULTIMATE--The First
Four Decades" on page 161 with the same caption.
