I actually remember when my parents took me and my brother to see the wall. We were on vacation in west germany, and one day we went there to Berlin, just to see the wall. Several years later we saw on CNN how the wall was torn down. My father felt it was important his kids got to see it, as he had been a journalist who on several occasions had been to the Warschaupact for stories he wrote for magazines. I guess it was trips like this that instilled in me a desire to know about history, how it gets repeated, and how we rarely seem to learn from it.

He said he was glad that he never encountered anyone during his duty, because if he had, he wouldn't have had the chance to deny doing his job. Knowing this, the seemingly inhuman guards become more complex too.

The guard looked around basically said he doesn't want to, his job was miserable, how he couldn't mess up with everyone around, the guards were always rotating and never knowing whether that guard was part of the secret police. He said that they try not to kill them, shooting them in the legs but the machine guns are so inaccurate its practically impossible Anyways my relative also said he spent most of his savings on the flight from JFK to Germany. it went from JFK -> Newfoundland -> London -> Germany all in this crampt dingy loud shaky propeller plane.

I was stationed in Berlin from 88-92 and worked in the Meddac (hospital). I took a trip to East Berlin Before the wall came down. You had to get special permission and go as a group in our Class A uniforms so there would be no confusion that we were there to do anything other than shopping and eating. I didn't buy much while there because most of the things I wanted to buy was fine China and crystalware which I couldn't store anywhere since I lived in the barracks. I was off duty for the two days when AFN (news) came on the TV saying that the wall was open. I watched in shock and confusion, then realized I had a decision to make. Was I going to say and watch it on TV and wait for the orders to come from Headquarters to stay what we could and couldn't do? One of my roomates and I decided we were leaving before official orders came down to lock us o base. One of the best decision I ever made. We left! We got to be right smack in the center of this world changing event. CheckPoint Charlie and the Brandenburg Gate (within walking distance). I got to get on top of the wall and got a few pictures (I wish a digital camera was thing then). I helped East Germans up and over the wall. I ventured where no American had been in civilian clothes, East Berlin. I stayed to celebrate all night and into the morning. I knew I couldn't go back to the barracks because they were not allowed to leave. So I stayed out, but eventually I went to my girlfriend's apartment and got some sleep. It was in the early morning hours and I didn't go far as I was scared something might happen to me. In the days and weeks after the wall opened up, I went deeper into the east with my German Girlfriend on our bikes. Trust me know I was taking part in world history and I took it all in.

And there was a little pub right down at the river where my grandfather would sometimes take us to get icecream when I was 5. That section of the border was basically a swamp, so the actual fortifications were a couple hundred meters inside East German territory, and completely hidden by the trees growing on the east bank. So it really just looked like a completely unremarkable little river maybe 15 meters across. However, my aunt says when she was playing down at the river with her friends, they sometimes saw East German soldiers patrolling the other side, and sometimes you could hear mines getting set off by deer in the distance.

Berlin has to be one of the most historically interesting cities in the world. This, the Cold War era alone is like something out of a dystopian movie. A huge city divided in ideology, economy, technology, currency and general way of life, yet the people on both sides want the wall torn down. It went from being the centre of the Nazi-regime to being a chess board where western capitalism and eastern communism competed, and the inhabitants played the part of pawns. There was no time to adapt.

And you easily find remains of all of it in that amazing city. It's not a beauty like Paris, neither has it the majestic aura of London or the metropolitan vibe of New York.

I saw it as an 11 year old in 1984. My dad worked as a civilian for the British Army in W. Germany and we went on a trip to Berlin. There were viewing platforms on the west side where you could look over. We also saw a checkpoint being repaired and East German soldiers guarding the workers so they wouldn’t run off. I’ll never forget it .

When Wim Wenders made his masterpiece Wings of Desire, he was not allowed to film with the wall in one scene, so he created a faux wall that is a hilarious take on the original.

Very well done! I was stationed there in the early 80’s. I have memories and pictures but this puts it into perspective. Thx

This is a great video on the wall. I've seen several and this is probably the best at fully describing it in detail and visually.

My mom actually has a decent sized piece of the wall. Quite a historical souvenir if I do say so myself.

My Grandma which was from Germany had told me that in the later years of the wall, east German soldiers were always in groups of two during patrols. She said that if one soldier was to try and escape, the other soldier was to shoot the one escaping. It's insane how such a community very similar can be divided by ideals and then forced to be divided by strict measures with the wall.

@wanderschlosser1857

It's true that patrols went in pairs and they made sure that those pairs were permanently remixed to avoid friendly conspiracies among them. Yes, it was meant that one comrade stops the other from fleeing. In reality it often meant the fleeing one shot his comrade first to have a safer run, happened multiple times.

I was stationed at the US Army Garrison at Ledward Barracks in what was then Schweinfurt, West Germany. We were 20 miles (32.2 Kilometers) from the then border. I was a combat medic who was in charge of driving an M113A2 MEDEVAC vehicle. Many times did the infantry have to go to the border and take their turn. Part of that was to help East German citizens into West Germany if needed. I was at a remote location one time, providing medical support for the troops there. What you didn't mention was the mine fields and anti-vehicle ditches that were outside of populated areas. I have witnessed the attempt of 28 East German citizens make an attempt to escape to West Germany. They were in a big truck with an open area in the back. It looked similar to the US Army's 2.5-ton truck, commonly called the duece-and-a-half. Of the 28 people crammed into this truck, only 2 made it to the west side alive. The others were shot and killed by East German guards. We could do nothing unless they shot at US Troops. All we could do is watch people die. As a medic, the two who survived were the only two that actually made it the camp, although both were badly injured. I could only save those two. But so many more died not only that day but throughout the time of East & West Germany. Much of the things that went on still haunt me to this day.

Hats off to your wonderful work. The animation and story telling is incredible. Wow! I will definitely re-watch this video after some time.

6:30 That consistent shot with the combination of ambient music and audio effects are so well done. Very dramatic.

amazing graphics

I love these videos! They are just so entertaining!

Content is of extreme quality brother. keep at it!

My West-German parents travelled to China in the late 80s and for some reason, their itinerary brought them through Berlin (and from there via Moscow to Beijing). Years later, we went on a family vacation to the unified Berlin and as we drove towards Brandenburg Gate, my mom started to cry. When she saw the Gate the last time, it had the Wall around it. It was off limits. I was still very young but I think witnessing this emotion, triggered by a past I never lived in, shaped my understanding and appreciation of our current times a lot.

It's easy to forget the human impact of such historical events as the Berlin Wall. This evocation of the brutal separation it caused is truly heartbreaking. Took away much more than roads and jobs, it took away relationships and loved ones.

my grandparents were in west germany on a business trip when the wall fell, my grandfather brought back a few pieces of the wall and I have one of them on my desk, my father and grandfather have the other two

​@@Rustycaddy17 Thats just as wrong as it gets. First of all, the Blockade started as a result of the Allied forces introducing the west German currency in west Berlin, which the soviets didnt like - so no, they would not be able to use said currency in east Berlin. Even if the Deutsche Mark would be accepted in East Berlin, one of the first changes made by the soviets was to regulate all traffic between east and west Berlin, in either direction. The Soviets also didnt not supply Berlin anymore, let alone have warehouses in West Berlin - there were warehouses there with supplies for around a month, but they were all under Allied control. The soviets also stopped supplying power and all other types of resources to west Berlin. The goal of the entire blockade was to lay siege to west Berlin, hoping that the western forces would not be able to supply it, enabling the soviets to annex it. Neither side thought it would be possible to fly in all supplies for many months, until the US, Britain and France did it. It is very much one of the most impresive logistical feats ever completed.

It would be nice to include a timeline of how they decided to build a wall. What was the final straw.

Wrong. It did work, but Gorbachev ordered it to take it down; poor leadership, not the wall.

Its not propaganda when it acutally happen and is talking about a goverment literally trapping people into a country so they wont leave the east. It would be different if it was how russia is doing there system and just not teaching anything about other ideologies, and making kids go to patriotic events and draw drawings of Russia.

Well it was easier to get East since from the West in most cases you simply could use the border check points to cross. As it is known the inner German border was primarily there to keep East Germans inside East Germany. Fleeing West to East happened, too though, not as frequently naturally. Funny episode, in July 1988 about 200 West Berlin activists actually did flee over the wall to the East. Prior to that they occupied the Lenné-triangle, a small piece of East Berlin on the Western side of the wall (was left out for wall construction convenience) close to Potsdam Square and founded a temporary anarchist tent commune. When the West-Berlin police stormed, they climbed over the wall. The East German border guards collected them, gave them breakfast in army mess halls and sent them back via S- and U-Bahn trains with valid West-Berlin tickets ( probably from Friedrichstr. station).

Its almost like a world war happened on the east crumbling infrastructure and advancement.. oh wait-

Yeah so wording and context is quite important here. I see that a naive approach provides a good introduction to the video, but nobody "had to build a wall". That was an incredibly cruel political decision that still has painful repercussions in Germany today.

Danke für dieses tolle Video ❤🇩🇪

Your channel and fern are the best channels for documentary productions on KZread. Love it❤️

Seems like a logical and appropriate solution at the time given the centuries of aggression, genocide, and shocking degree of global conflict required to mitigate this rogue territory. Humans are flawed and forgetful to stupid around past events, this of which caused significant grief for my own grandparents.

Not sure why they bothered, I've been repeatedly told that walls don't work.

You also do have to consider the fact, that not that many people don't want socialism, but some social systems. Sadly there are people, that do want socialism, even if they've read history books or lived through this.

Socialism in theory has many pros, but the "leaders" of a few countries gave it a bad image because they were bad themselves... instead of caring for the people, they cared for their dictatorship. Just look at DPRK, GDR and all the other countries...

The amount of liberals and or youth who’d choose socialism over free market capitalism in America today truly have no idea what socialism, and communism do to the people.

Have you seen... Europe? That's what amarican liberals want. Because what is labeled far left by you guys is maybe just left of center over here. And trust me, as someone who lives under evil spooky democratic sozialism, it isn't as scary as you think it is. If i can't work because of health issues, i can choose to receive money from the state. Our system takes care of its people. What does your country do for you, that mine doesn't do for me? Please tell me something your free market capitalism gives you, that democratic socialism could not. I would be genuinly interested to know.

Some of the eeriest consequences of the wall and division of the city were "ghost stations" on the U-Bahn (subway). Before WWII Berlin had an extensive subway system, or U-Bahn. After the wall went up the U-Bahn was divided just like the city. Some of the lines existed entirely on one side or the other. Some lines that originally spanned both sides of the city were cut in two. Trains would travel up to the newly created dead-end, then turn around and go back from where it came. There were a few lines that served West Berlin, but crossed under a small section of East Berlin. The stations which those lines had once served in East Berlin were now closed. The street entrances were blocked off and bricked up. Barbed wire was strewn along the edge of the platform to prevent any East Germans who had somehow found their way into the station from boarding a train bound for West Berlin. The stations were dimly lit, and the booths that had once sold tickets became guard stations. Trains would slowly pass through the station, but would not stop. As it passed by the dark empty station, West Berliner passengers would see a station frozen in time, untouched from the moment in 1961 when the wall was erected.

I touched a piece of the Berlin wall. There's a large section of the wall at the National Infantry Museum in Columbus, GA. It's an amazing museum and would take more than one day to take it all in.

Russia is still a threat and always will be (pray I am not right) a threat. Never forget it, tell people born after 2000 as they never got to see what they did to understand what they are trying to do today.
