The fall of the Berlin Wall was not only the first step to a reunited Germany but a landmark in modern European history. Eastern Germans had been locked up in the former German Democratic Republic with little possibility to travel to Western, non-communist countries.

And what happened thereafter to the two seperate countries? To listen to the documentary, click here.
