of the many emotional people what seemed impossible has come to slow rivers to this day, it is a miracle that gives hope. so let's start exploring the wall in berlin and germany. we started thursday. our 1st location is sick when charlie on phoenix trust, which was one of the most famous border crossings ever. there aren't a new original sandbag star guard houses here anymore, but tourist still loved this place. it's hard to imagine today that world war 3 almost broke out here at the end of

world war 2, the allies have divided not only germany, but also burden into 4 occupations on the western zones were administered by the us, british, and french, and the eastern zone. by the soviets known as the g d. r. at 1st the vocal still cost of water. but that ended when the gigi are built, the wall on august 13 1961. the wall was built and all the rest. berlin was seated us. here at chick when charlie, american and soviet tanks, jo, but armed with light immunization and stood facing each other for more than 16 hours. berlin and the world held their breath. images were shown around the world making checkpoint charlie famous. fortunately the tasks went through the situation, calm down and the wall became a sad part of everyday life. checkpoint. charlie was a border crossing for diplomats and officials for 28 years until november the 9th.

1989. when the wall opened here at check point, charlie completely unexpectedly mathias browner was there. he was 23 years old at the time and captured the evening's events in west berlin with his camera. photos can now be seen in a pop of exhibition. what were the motions that night is blow, but i am volk system best with the thought of both bonds and i am but what vonda this is stuff smoke last month. oh, beautiful. so it might be the top ones of what it says all prescribed on november. 9th mathias phone are like so many others heard the unbelievable news. the ged are announced, it would open the world. perhaps. as soon as that very night he made his way to checkpoint tardy. for g d. r guards could barely hold back the crowds of this day and to get out the lights on papa. what do you have created to yet keep this busy? none within the house of games on your part in these parts here. what else?

from east of glucose, but i ended up in palm of but i didn't box knowledgeable toy to cuz she's to save you around midnight. the border opened ruffles with yes off. but you know, you don't get confidence. well, most of these high tv and rufus of engine guitar are, these are sitting in the event the guy you spoke to probably it looks like, you know, i instead of the forwarding of the files, lucas, you wouldn't of the short on the not, what do you tell them not what's my it's my home. what sites. yeah. it's been also did it out for insights and people because this that the student isaac is they shut off luckily, but he's a woman type. yeah, that's the comments yet. there's lot much less of the wall, a checkpoint, charlie today, it's merely a popular photo spot. but you can find out what the, what actually look like in other places. our 2nd stop is the memorial unborn hours trust. it consists of a large opener, exhibition kind of documentation center. these will

show where the wall one stood mainly through the middle of nowhere structure. the houses on one side of the street were in the west and the other, the east. and in between stood the one. people lived only a few meters away but were allowed to reach each other. when the wall was built over night, on august, the 13th 1961 dispute people jumped out of the windows under an hour shots. the houses were in the east, but the street was in the west. in the following years, the houses in the border street work here, the big top and finally demolished. over the years, the simply was became a sophisticated border fortification system. you can get an overview from the documentation center,

but notice to us it is the only place in berlin where you can still see the old border strip. this stretch of the wall was redirected in 1998. this from up here, you can see that there were 2 was designed, emission shows what it looked like between them. the water surface bright too late at night. this is where the g d. r border guards shot at those trying to escape in the west. the border was known as a district, it was secured for these barriers and steel formats coverage, and 14 centimeters, big spikes. and this is the berlin vall, as we know it today. 3.6 meters high. the last barrier before vist burnett. the wall was almost insurmountable. many who wanted to free to do is to freedom looked for other options. this path leads to one of the legendary escape channels that people use. back in the days. there were several escape tunnels done by those in

west berlin and who wanted to help one of the longest dates back to 196457 people made it to freedom before it was discovered. today you can visit it up like a on burn ours trust, but there wasn't always a happy ending. 140 people died either by being shocked or from accidents that occurred by trying to escape at the burden. but the memorial, the knowledge dresser is very moving, since it's a star to minder of the one strategic history of the city, the or our 3rd spot is completely different. it's colorful, tearful, and original. the east side gallery is 1.32 meters, long spaces that are just from all over the world after the fall of the water is

inside one of the largest. so when you're galleries in the world, it's just want to walk along here and look at over a 100 paintings. each one is different in special, in its own way. the one is the most famous bureaus is often referred to as the fraternal coast. i just meet you school, but it shows, area chronicler and unit vision of the heads of the state of the art and the soviet union kissing it for presented the strong relationship between the 2 socialist to the west, where the nurse had always been to the side of the walls, of course, this was strictly forbidden on the east berlin side and the wall was barred. on 21992 i made sure so caisson way about from cuba. she's one of the archers who transformed part of the east berlin side of the wall

into a street art gallery. there is still a southern part in the g d r at the time and her professors told her about the east side gallery project. she even brought me here, originally sketched from 1919 she used to do apply to participate in the project. it was an exciting time, photos, opportunities, and changes. and she was right in the middle of the line for the town. see if there's any, it's a h and for down 2nd thing. yeah. and things that are more. busy i think that will morales more guest off, simple the info home data models as a then he has had a lot of things to look and say to him, do i mean, what do you i don't persona to get in on the and i like that i put on the, filling out an e mail, but it's just, i mean, they told me to give you a call to follow up. on fridays we are now leaving berlin and driving to our 4th

location. a place called point alpha. this us opposite ration post was on the border of former west germany, exactly between the present the states of syringe here and his voice also was considered a major hot spot in the cold war. and that's because the us troops were certain that the soul reduced were to invade the west. there wouldn't bid here. the terrain is religious except so during the surprise attack, soviet troops could have penetrated very quickly and deeply into west germany. that's why the americans, foods and observation forced right here as close as possible to the ddr border fortifications. this us watch dollar is only 50 meters away from that g d r. what colors stationed in the us comp for soldiers of the black

horse regiment. their assignment in the event of an attack was to defend the area until reinforcements arrived. it was a powerful unit on the allowed to drive up to this red line in the account. this crossing, it would have been considered a provocation and could possibly have triggered a war. this us last starboard wasn't built up to 1985 back then nobody expected that 4 years later, the cold war and the division of germany would be history. the, the 1st and last stop on our journey. nice on the border between 3 and you and the very yeah, the small village of more like what about 50 people live here. some are bavarian, others to engines separated on the, on paper by an administrative border. but that had never match. they ran to the

same school, the same bars, the lived worked and celebrated together. the small stream has always been the natural border between tutoring yeah, and of area. and there was never no problem on 21945. when the allies divided germany between themselves. suddenly westmore lacroix, it was in the americans or what ceased more lavoy. it wasn't the soviet. so the administrative border had suddenly become a national border, separating friends and families. people from the western part of the village could no longer go to the same school or far because favor now in the east. it was also forbidden for people on opposite sides to waive or even read each other. this eventually became impossible anyway. as the border fortifications were extended, pushing people farther apart, american soldiers nickname the place. little berlin. high novaire was 19 years old when he, like all young men in east germany started military service. in 1968,

he was stationed here in what level his job was to prevent people from escaping, to move on a little bit more expensive than it's custom cabinets. then the most of the, of the, so news i was miss watson provide the whole in this into your last monday about the class the, i'm heading that was out of michigan. fortunately, he never had to make that decision. what serving in the army verified in love with the woman from sooner and you got married and never left. he wasn't moodle avoid on that. happy day in 1989 when the wall came down with the more the phone as well as the north side of the store findings in less than this was in the sooner the feel of a one insight in fluffy, have done was i will deal hostage be flight, the gus flows mistake and what's, what's left in this in the house? is it facing fish? you know, to decrease the, we know on this was a 0 unless, you know,
