About the show

The night the wire went up. August 13, 1961. A city split by concrete and death strip for twenty-eight years. Checkpoint Charlie. The tunnels. Peter Fechter bleeding to death in the no-man's-land. Kennedy at Rathaus Schöneberg saying Ich bin ein Berliner. Reagan at Brandenburg Gate telling Gorbachev to tear it down. Günter Schabowski's press conference blunder on November 9, 1989. The Ossis and Wessis meeting on the wall. The Cold War ended in six weeks. — a daily series with new episodes every day.
