Hi, I have my degree in Germanic Studies. There's a slight inaccuracy on why the wall opened. It was a mistake made by a journalist announcer about the new travel plans. He missed the briefing on the new regulations and so when asked when this would come into place, he said Immediately. So people listening to the broadcast in East Berlin got excited and swamped the unsuspecting guard station and thankfully let them through instead of conflict. It's hugely famous in Germany, so I'm surprised that was missed.Look up Günter Schabowski for more details!

I visited East Berlin in 1985. We went through Check Point Charlie. It was really interesting to see what it was like. Only a couple of blocks outside of Alexandre Platz the buildings were still not repaired. As we were clearly foreigners no one would talk to us. When we went to a pub for a beer, everyone looked at us and pretended we weren’t there. It was also weird to take the S-Bahn (subway) and pass through abandoned stations were the trains didn’t stop and see armed guards when the trains passed through the stations on the East side of the wall. I watched the wall being torn down on TV and was elated by the celebrations of freedom!

So weird to think. I passed by Checkpoint Charlie today, just going from one side of the street to the other. There's a line on the ground showing where the wall used to be and the checkpoint is still there. It's mostly for tourists but I always think about how surreal it is that this busy street was once the end of the city(s)... Must have been a crazy experience back then...

For anyone wondering, Wolfgang Engels was the man who stole an army vehicle to crash to the other side.

I was born here. My dad a US army took down this Berlin Wall and rescued so many people during the process. My daddy drove the tanks. It's cool to keep learning about this. And also such a tragedy for all these lives to be lost. My heart goes out to you

I'm from Germany and two years ago my aunt was giving me and my cousins tiny pieces of the Berlin Wall as christmas presents from a trip she was on. It got really precious to me, though I do not know any stories about it from my direct family members. Though history wasn't my favorite subject in school I did always understood that it's extremely important to know about it. I've seen some parts of the wall in museums and in Berlin itself and what impressed me was how scribbled they are. There are many graffitis on it and some are displayed as works of art, painted by some artist. By now it's really hard to collect a piece of it. Last words from a show I love: "History is important, gentlemen. If you can't learn from it, you're destined to repeat it."

There may be still complications most North Koreans are taught from a young age that the South is their worst enemy, even if they do come together there will still be those who are anti-North korean and it could be the same for how some of the North feels about the South... Though all that aside I want all those people to have a taste of freedom.

Sorry, but as a German historian I have to disagree. What really brought the wall down was The Hoff when he sang "I've been looking for freedom" on the wall 😉

I was stationed on the border in Fulda Germany in April 90. I actually drove into the former east Germany. The roads were really bad and the area was very depressing. It was like driving back in time 30 years.

Legitimately cried at 4:58 seeing the soldier’s reaction and 6:09. Real message.

Ooga booga the manspreader of legends Yeah the tanks great and all, but there are a ton more stories. Like three brothers, each escaping one after another with the first one using a surfboard to cross a canal, the second one using a zip line to cross the wall and the third one being picked up by his brothers via a lightweight airplane, which they then landed in front of the Bundestag, leaving it there and then heading for the pub. Or two windsurfers who crossed the Ostsee. These were some truly amazing people!

It was a guy named Wolfgang Engels en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Engels

Ok since the video was very superficial in the end (even though its such a good and intersting story): On 9th november 1989 the DDR Press speaker Günter Schabowski made an anouncement saying that a new law was set in place that enables all citizens to leave the DDR (what he misses to say: citizens have to apply to leave). Next he is asked when this law will be in force and he answers "To my knowledge... thats... right away, immediatly.". Fifteen minutes later the west german television (which could be and was watched by most east germans) declared in regards to Schaboskis statement that the wall is open. Thousands of citizens go on the streets in order to leave, but the guards withstand the crowds to arround 11 pm. Then the borders are finally open. So a badly informed press speaker makes a mistake, west german media brings the news to the east german people and suddenly the east german regime has no other choice than to give in. It was a coincidence, but it probably whould have happend either way months or years later, because of the common protests, low moral and the generally bad state the Soviet Union was in.

To think to this day, that televised celebration was regared as the end of the Cold War in the West and the eventual downfall for USSR.

Really enjoyed the documentary. Did not disappoint one bit.

I am in love with the animation style.

I have a story to tell, Long before I was born, and a few years before my mother was born, my grandparents were making the hardest decision of their lives, ,"Jürgen, solten wir das wirklich machen? Ich hab angst, komm, nein, mach das nicht!" "Jürgen, should we really do it? I'm scared.. come on.. don't do it!" My grandmother was probably saying something like that, and i'm glad that they didn't try to escape the east side with their friends.. After my Grandfather picked up my Grandmother from the train station from work after their friends tried to escape, he looked around to make sure nobody was there to listen ,"Dar sind neue leute die dar jest leben Brunhilde." ,"There are new people now living there Brunhilde." ,"Was!?" ,"What!?" I'm glad they didn't escape with their buddies, otherwise.. they would've been caught, and they wouldn't have had my mother, because it was only after 3 years that they were freed from prison and sold to West Germany, they would've fallen out by that time.. After that, my Grandfather did a foolish thing, he was writing a letter to a friend- 'Ich bin frei, wir sind alle frei' 'I am free, we are all free' He wrote something like that and sent it off, only it wasn't the usual postman who collected their letters, because their usual one was sick and the new postman read the letter. His studies were posteponed, because otherwise, my Grandmother told me, he could've become a Proffesor. Because of three words,' I AM FREE' after that he was put into a labour party by my Great grandfather which prevented him from being pulled into another one, where he could've been made into Secret Service, and that wouldn't have been good, because he somehow had access to Western TV. Thank you for reading this, I felt it was important to share this real story, if you have any questions, ask me.

I remember my history teacher in middle school told me about the worst mistake is his life. When the Berlin wall was about to fall, he and some of his friends where in high school, and when they realised that stuff was about to happen in Berlin, his friends asked him if he wanted to take the night train to Berlin and see what would happen. We live in sweden, so it's a long ride, but my teachers friends thought it was worth it. My teacher declined their offer. His friends where in west berlin when the wall fell, and they later told my teacher what an amazing and emotional experience. People flooding from east into west, laughter and endless amounts of joy, families and friends that had been separated for decades being reunited. My teacher told us that his decision to stay behind that night would be the biggest regret of his entire life, and to always take chances if you can, because you dont know for how long you will regret it later.

The dance music in the end….is so BERLIN! My favorite European City!
