Yes he means Checkpoint Charlie. The DDR referred to their border
crossing as Ubergangstelle Friedrichstrasse Zimmerstrasse and it was
only available to the military, diplomats and none Germans. Germans
had to use Heerstrasse, north of the Reichstag, though there were
latterly other points for West Berlin residents


Actually there were some more. When going by car, I mostly used the
check point at Heinrich-Heine-Straße (Kreuzberg).
