Some time ago, an American leftist told me that the Berlin Wall was necessary to keep the West out of East Berlin. he wasn't happy when I started laughing. I said that even to a 9 year old, it was clear the tank traps were set up to stop people fleeing to the West.
It's too bad the Westerners did not leave a section of the Wall standing. It would stop people from rewriting the truth about it.

- WalterBright 4mo agoJust the Wall or including the defense-in-depth?
- hnav 4mo agoIf you mean watchtowers with armed guards, then no those don't exist anymore.
- WalterBright 4mo agoI meant what I wrote about the defense in depth. But no, the guards wouldn't be necessary.
