Focus from the remotest corners of the city he jumps to the fore, Hamburg's post Tower, at the time of Europe's highest workplace. Its top is occupied with a 25 year-old Hanseatic League: Werner Czech hourly wage. His profession: crane operator - 210 meters above the Earth.
The second half of the Tower: a climbing steep ladders. Temperature on the day of our recordings: minus 1 degrees when wind speed of 10 something more just, and the boom of the crane would fail, moving against the wind.
"Did you have an special experience?" "Yes, the take fog a bird flew in above me. Thats so not commonplace in and of itself and I got a fright. Or when fog is hear planes and you don't know where they come from. As ´ is married a n funny, not."

Then we asked for a sample of his precision Czech we mounted our camera to the been fullest watching cruise on a Tower - a dream trip, an information to the men of the week is one of King Konstantin of Greece. His struggle for the throne began a few days after this report. A coup d ' état suspended the Constitution. Two restless years of Greek domestic politics reached its zenith with the arrest of left-wing politicians.
The army was scooped for a long time on hold, the Royal opponent of Papandreou's presumed electoral victory. Konstantin. Lovers of fast in a boats, aircraft and cars, saw the rescue of his throne in a military dictatorship.
Walter Ulbricht became the most kissed man of the week. The applause of the guests of honour at the SED party Congress again put the 73 year old party boss all rumors, advocate of a yielding course to his he sharply rejected the Bonn Germany - offensive and told 2,000 delegates, only a Communist Germany is ripe for reunification.
Best kept man who was week Lyndon B. Johnson, who interrupted his political business in the orphanage, to the State funeral of Konrad days out to with Chancellor Kiesinger the disputed on three days out, to discuss the controversial nuclear proliferation Treaty with German Chancellor. In several conversations President moved all register of his famous persuasion, to allay the suspicion, that Washington wants to some at the expense of the non-nuclear powers with Moscow.

State funeral in the Chamber of the Bundestag. The leading statesmen of the Western world honor the first German Chancellor and his work.
"The future of his people rested him in close connection in Germany of the free Western world, in the ongoing reconciliation with France, and in the agreement achieved reunification the German, nor the unification of Europe. He has them una as a large legacy behind read. May we be worthy!"
Just a few hours later. Pontifical Requiem in the Cologne Cathedral. Among the mourners of the British Prime Minister, Harold Wilson.
Surrounded by security officials, in an armored limousine: the President of the United States, Lyndon B. Johnson.
And the French President de Gaulle. Five years ago, he prayed with his friend of Adenauer in Reims Cathedral.
