Overnight on June 15th 1961, a barrier went up to completely divide Allied West Berlin from Communist East Berlin and the GDR. Over the following years the Berlin Wall was increasingly fortified until it became one of the deadliest border-crossings in the World. Take this tour to explore the remnants of this historic barrier, and relive the tragic events of people attempting to cross the 'death-strip' to freedom.
