University student Helmut Wegner curses himself for his procrastination as he waits in the rain in the muddy woods for his Flchthelfer, the escape helpers. Twelve weeks earlier, prior to August 13, 1961, he could have strolled easily across the border separating East Berlin from the section occupied by the three Western allies. Now, crossing the border is a dangerous endeavor. But Wegner is far from the only man who seeks to escape. Outpost Berlin chronicles the tales of both successful and failed escape attempts over the Berlin Wall since its erection in 1961. Each chapter begins with a short historical background and description of the location, a dedication to an American or German who played a significant role in the defense of West Berlin, and a prologue detailing the implications that the incidents had for West Berlins future. Capturing the essence of the era, Outpost Berlin presents a historical look at the stories of American military intelligence officers, German escapees, and the escape helpers.

Berlin's university headquarters were to be based here under National Socialism, after the war it became the largest depot for post war rubble and later the winter sports, climbing and wine making centre of the city. A radar station was built on Teufelsberg and the Western allies listened in to the East from the top. The equipment has been abandoned since 1992 and Teufelsberg has succumb to vandalism and decay. No use has been found for the area despite numerous plans and attempts. This "lost place" in the inner city districts of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf has become a place of myths. This book tells the true story. Excerpt: The plans for the athletic development of the mountain had, however, always been public and once again demonstrated: Berliners were never shy about offering a stage even to basically meaningless things. Even the rubble of their destroyed city could be put to good use! But what does a real mountain need? First of all, one should be able to ski there in the winter, and children should be able to ride sleighs. ...

During the Allied Occupation of Berlin (1945-1994), Doughboy City was where the US Army Infantryman, Specialist Dan Guerra and all US soldiers, based in West Berlin, went to hone their Urban Warfare skills and prepare for when the Soviets and the Warsaw Pact decide to make Khrushchev's Ultimatum of Berlin a reality. Doughboy City was a mock city with its own subway station, warehouses, apartments, and town hall. One foggy morning, the training turned deadly. The death of his friend was ruled a terrible accident but Specialist Dan Guerra does not buy it and cannot prove why or how or who did it. As the story unfolds, a suspect starts to emerge until it is undeniable but still without proof, Dan Guerra finds himself the target of the suspect's attempt to get rid of the only person that is stirring the pot and arousing suspicion. From out of the past, an unlikely duo changes everything for everyone. Doughboy City set in the days before the world would change forever, the fall of the Berlin Wall, November 9, 1989. Then again, in Berlin change is an everyday occurrence.
