It's amazing how a nation could go through all this trouble to prevent it's people from leaving, and not think "Are we the bad guys?"

East German borderland: death, death, death, and deadly force West German border area: watch tower, McDonald's, a little door hole to see what's up, top tourist Spot.

I lived with this wall in Berlin on the western side for 8 years before it finally came down. I was also well acquainted with the part where the Church of Reconciliation stood. I can therefore say that the animation at least depicts the true depressive atmosphere that the Berlin Wall emitted if not entirely the details. At the time the church stood there the Wall was not made of concrete slabs, it consisted of the left over redbrick facades of the demolished tenant houses that formally stood along the border. Their windows were bricked up and the bricklayers had not even bothered to remove the curtains before hand leaving them protruding from between the bricks. Only after the church was demolished was the Wall "up dated" to the infamous white concrete slabs.

I like how Björn and Simmi added their own little touch to the animation at the 4:59 mark. Well done, guys.

I remember as an american how I grew up watching the news at night . They would celebrate anyone who made it accross the wall.I know exactly what I was doing the moment I heard the wall was coming down.. Later in my life I met a woman from east berlin who was a couple of years younger than me. I asked her what it was like for her.she said that a teacher at her school encouraged the students to travel to see the world. She then said something profound . She said" It was very emotional for my parents who had known freedom and had it taken away. I had been born without freedomand it took me a while to adjust to what that meant"

The city of Berlin went through an astonishing amount of changes in the 20th century - from mass destruction from World War II, to this absurd wall.

Im from Germany and already visited Berlin for in depth sight seeing. However, even I didn't know how sophisticated the walls defense system was...not to that degree of detail shown and explained here...great video and at the same time very shocking, even after all these years since the reunion happend. Unbelievable that this really existed for so long... thank god I was born in West-Germany back then...
