wave of democracy sweeping throughout Germany, the borders between West and East Germany were forced
opened, literally through the cracks in the Berlin Wall.

series of concrete walls of up to five metres high, guarded buy watchtowers, gun emplacements and mines.
In the 1980s, the system of walls, electrified fences, and fortifications divided not only the city of Berlin but
extended a further 120km around West Berlin.
