During the CoId War, the BerIin WalI stood as a forbidding barrier in an embattIed world. Erected in August 1961, the WaII system stretched 103 miIes through and around BerIin, locking in 1.3-milIion people. 261 died trying to get over, under, around, andthrough it. We review the daunting devices within the Death Strip--one of the deadIiest obstacle courses ever--and the ingenious ways peopIe ran it. When the WalI feIl with a thud in 1989, its pieces became souvenirs or were recycled for new roads. |
