For 28 years, a nearly insurmountable barrier kept people from fleeing East Germany. But then, the dramatic night of November 9, 1989, saw the fall of the Wall that divided Germany. Today, it is difficult to imagine what was bitter reality just a few decades ago.
For the first time, a realistic computer animation reveals the vast security system of Germany’s inner border and the Berlin Wall, both of which were recreated virtually in the greatest detail.
The animation is part of the DVD “Walled in! What the Cold War frontier in divided Germany was really like” which can be purchased at DW’s online store http://store.dw-world.de.
Duration : 0:10:40

A friend of mine lives in the Anklamer Str. which is displayed in the beginning of the video.
Everytime I visit him I walk across the former wall.
I was born in 1980 so I grew up with the wall. But I lived/live in the western part (British Sector).
I think it is good that people from all around the world start recognizing what really happened here. I do wonder why this took 20 years. But in Germany we say “Besser spät als nie.”
