One of the most charismatic US presidents, John F. Kennedy was assassinated 45 years ago, in circumstances still matter of public controversy. June 23, 1963, in Berlin, JFK delivered one of the most quoted speeches during the Cold War, in the front of almost one million people.
Historically, his speech was a very important expression of support of the US for the free world, but a promise impossible to be kept for those on the other side of the Curtain. Only 24 years after, another American president, Ronald Reagan, asked on Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down the wall.
