        Did he not butcher it slightly and say I am a doughnut but the audience knew what he was trying to say

        The version I heard was he called himself a sub/hero sandwich. Any truth to these stories?

        .@BeschlossDC Strange that no diplomat thought to tell him to say: "Ich bin Berliner". No 'ein'. Try it with 'Frankfurter'. See! @USDOS

        Might have been grammatically incorrect, but still an amazing speech and moment.

        No, your dad was right. The "ein" isn't used when referring to a person. "Berliner" with the "ein" is a donut.

        Is it true that the German is grammatically incorrect, & that he said something like "which way to the train station?" Myth?

        It's not "Ish". It's closer to "Eek".
