13 August 1961 - EAST IS SEALED OFF FROM WEST IN A DIVIDED CAPITAL:
While the city sleeps, Soviet-backed East German soldiers begin erecting
a barbed-wire barrier in Berlin, making solid what's been for 15 years a geopolitical split within Germany's capital. Transit between communist
East Berlin and capitalist West Berlin is now strictly verboten.
A guarded concrete barrier that encircled West Berlin of the Federal
Republic of Germany (FRG) from 1961 to 1989, separating it from East
Berlin and the German Democratic Republic (GDR).Construction of the
Berlin Wall was commenced by the government of the GDR on 13 August
1961. It included guard towers placed along large concrete walls,
accompanied by a wide area (later known as the "death strip") that
contained anti-vehicle trenches, beds of nails and other defenses. The
primary intention for the Wall's construction was to prevent East German citizens from fleeing to the West.
