Got this one from the r/coldwar sub on Reddit. It's a very underappreciated sub (and is constantly mistaken for a Call of Duty sub by people who don't know how to read), but is still chock full of all sorts of interesting stuff from days gone by, obviously with a focus on east-west relations. This is from user samstanley7 who posted a picture of a travel advisory from the US passport office given to his grandfather about traveling to the GDR (East Germany). It's full of political rhetoric about how it's not a real country, as the US did not recognize it as such until the 70s or so. Just fun to give it a read to see the tensions of the time.
