THE BERLIN WALL A SHAME OF THE COLD WAR.

SPREAD A NATION, FAMILY, CULTURE.
POLITICAL IDEOLOGY NOT RESPECT TO HUMANS OR THEIR CITIZENS.
THE INDIGNITY OF WHO BELIEVED THAT IS THE MOST POWERFUL AND FORGOT ALL THE PEOPLE,  THE CITIZENS ARE THE REALLY BOSS, THEY ARE WHO GIVES THE POWER TO THE GOVERN AND WORTHY OF BE RESPECT.

The Berlin Wall (German: Berliner Mauer), known as “Anti-Fascist Protection Wall” (Antifaschistische Schutzwall) by the communist German Democratic Republic, sometimes known as “Wall of Shame” by the Western public opinion.

It was  built in  August 13, 1961 until 9 November 1989 spread to West Germany (West Germany Republic) and  East Germany until that year.

The  extention was 45 miles from Berlin city divided in two and 115 miles between the western part of the city of the territory of the GDR.

The Berlin Wall, the symbol of the Cold War implies the existence of the spies, led to movies, books, research, secrets, lies, neighbors spying on each other but which means more than anything was the separation of whole families, that a morning on rising, found that the wall was being built and houses were divided into two families that lived face to face were separated by a wall, and that during the years of the existence of the Berlin Wall would cease to be seen, the separation of children from parents who suddenly that day had stayed in a relative’s house, waking the next day could not go home, leaving grandparents to see their grandchildren, families lived in one street and other children and this madness of invasion, war, power, left separated by more than 30 years.

A shame for humanity.

On the night of 12 to 13 August 1961, without warning the whole wall was built, it was simply  built on August 13 a small part heavily guarded by police socialist.

Erich Honecker, as former secretary of the Central Committee, was responsible for the planning and conduct of the wall on behalf of the leadership of the SED.

Since, September 1961 until 85 men deserted from the forces of surveillance, in addition to 400 civilians in 216 escapadas. Reminder of that is the photo of Conrad Schuman border police, jumping the fences that toured the world and was the example and the need of human freedom.

The wall of the fourth generation, begun in 1975, was reinforced concrete, had a height of 3.6 m and was formed from 45,000 separate sections of 1.5 m in length.

During the existence of the wall there were some 5,000 flight to West Berlin, 192 people were shot while trying to cross and another 200 were seriously injured.
The first death in the Berlin Wall was that of Peter Fechter was a young man of 18, a bricklayer from East Berlin, who agonize for an hour hooked to the wire of the Berlin Wall after being shot in his body, without guards or west this helped him, because of fear exists because previous days had been apparently killed a border guard in East Germany by a German agent was not allowed Oeste.Eithers the citizens can not do anything, they were  unable to help by firearms, and seeing as he lay dying, screaming and dying.

Later that day, a spontaneous meeting took part in the west side screaming murderers border guards.
