Berlin, Germany: The Russian sector of Berlin has legal shops which sell a great variety of consumer goods at prices far above those the average Berliner can pay. Ration coupons are not required in these "H.O." (Handleorganization) shops as they are in the non-Soviet sponsored stores for most goods. There is a striking contrast between the well-stocked shelves of the "Legal Black Market" stores, and the virtually empty counters of the department stores, which in pre-war times were the equivalents of large American stores. The "H.O." shops are usually filled with people -- the Soviet sector Berliners mostly look, while residents of the other sectors, who can change their western marks for Eastern at about a one-to-six rate, do the buying.
