  • Now we are not enemies nor friends, we are family :D

  • The nearest you would probably find to the Berlin Wall today would be the 20'-30' high peace lines in Belfasts interface areas in Northern Ireland

  • Where is the Wall in Cuba that has been mentioned, I dont recall seeing a Cuban wall in any history books

  • Stalin and Lenin hit dislike.

  • Comment removed

  • Whats the song name ?

  • There wasn't really a good side or a bad side in the Cold War, both nations were really only fighting to protect their own interests. They couldn't have cared less about the people. Both the USA and the USSR did some horrid things.

  • @anka2468 Of course there was a good and bad side.. Only one side walled in their people and stopped their free movement. Ok maybe 'free' and 'not free' would be better , but isnt that essentially 'good' and 'bad' in our way of thinking??

  • @Xiolablu3 Perhaps you should research Vietnam and Cuba, on both occasions the US blatantly ignored an violated basic human rights. Honecker, the one who built the Berlin Wall was hardly a good man, the situation varied from country to country.

  • @anka2468 By the way, I know you are only trying to be fair, and I am sure you are a intelligent person who has not long discovered that the Government doesnt always tell the truth. But think about it sensibly and with reasoned thinking I am sure you will come to the same conclusion. Walling in your people, and shooting them for wanting to travel is not right.

  • @Xiolablu3

    Walling in other people is worse ie. what America has been doing to Cuba for the last 40-50 years.

  • @anka2468 I havent heard of anyone being shot for crossing the Cuba border, yet.

  • @Xiolablu3 I don't if you'd get shot, but if anyone wants to leave Cuba, they need a lot of money and have to go through a ridiculously long process, not to mention it's practically illegal to leave the country, let alone visit it. Did you know they still drive vintage cars? Nothing moves in and out of place.

    The Berlin Wall eventually came down, but Cuba's still suffering.

  • @anka2468 If you are seriously saying that the USA's policies and actions are as bad as the Cold War era soviet union/Stalin/Gulags/Forced famine/walling in your people/invading poland and splitting it with Hitler,, etc,, then I'm sorry, but I can only think that you are trying hard to be 'alternative', or just naive. Yes the USA has done some bad things, but IMHO they cannot compare. one eg. All countries liberated by the Allies in WW2 had quick free elections to restore their democracy..

  • @anka2468 The USA has not walled in Cuba. Cubans can leave - if their country lets them.

  • Been living in Berlin about 5 months now, plan to stay here for a long time. Every day I wake up and I still can't believe I live in this incredible city.

  • 2.59 i got all teary. studying this in modern history now.

  • Check my comments in my channel for information about the Pre-January 8th version of Inception.

  • Those who don't miss the Berlin Wall have no heart. But those who want it back have no brain...

  • @SUGKUG West Berlin did have at atmosphere in the 1980s that it no longer has!

  • why was people running across the wall like that?

  • Dont belive the propaganda... DDR was fine.

  • @aptulla I was there.  I must have missed the bits that were fine.

  • Does anybody know the song titel? thx

  • @zigelus Vangelis Conquest of paradise (1492 soundtrack)

  • Anyone know the name of the song?

  • @Ghero03

    Conquest of Paradise by Vangelis

  • I was a boy when this took place but I still recall it very clearly.

  • The hoff made it fall

  • Is this film from a documentary? if yes, which one?

  • Y did ppl want the wall down.... I dont know the story so sorry

  • what's the name of the music?

  • Whats Michael Jackson and the berlin wall got on common?

    They were both massive in the 80's until bits started falling off of them

  • @chugger2hotty thats not very nice to say about the wall.

  • @chugger2hotty i really dont give a dam about what you say about the wall but you better fucken stay out of michael jacksons buessness you asshole i hope your dick has bits fallin off of it

  • I wanna say back to 60n70`s goverments were craps, here in Argentine we`ve got to undergone too many fucking defact aggression state so im so proud my country didnt envolve down there.

  • whats up with the dude at 0:42?

  • @Superchickenman159 That an east German falling from one of houses close to the border into the west part...later those windows were boarded up and the wall of the house was basically a part of the wall itself. At 1:20 you see one of the few successful escape tunnels. Over the years many people manged to flee successfull (some had really crazy methods), but even more died or ended up in prison for years.

  • @Superchickenman159 That was about the 1st year of the wall. He was jumping out the west side of the building to freedom. Later these building were either sealed shut with bricks or tore down.

    -Search youtube for: The Wall (1962) / Berlin Wall Documentary Film Video

  • more then 4 miljon east germans fled to the west side thats why the wall was being builded

  • 49 years ago a shadow raised between west and east germany. in 1989 that shadow was lifted. to this day germany is a united nation, and the world finally became united.

  • @jazzythegreatest Well there is still North and South Korea.

  • @reidyboy ah they are just practice, trust me, if nuclear war starts there then none shall be launched at us

  • @jazzythegreatest

    Es lebe ... so sind wir heute wieder frei zu verhungern! hurraaaaa

  • @jazzythegreatest The idealist in me would so want to believe you, yet sometimes I wonder whether the the world is more divided than ever.

  • @jazzythegreatest well... the soviet union was there until 1991

  • @jazzythegreatest The world is not united. Germany is.

  • Russia took posession of the east side and it's people. People wanted to escape to the west.

  • haha that soldier

  • what is that song?

  • @Ericgl11

    The song is

    Vangelis - Conquest of Paradise.

  • poor germany

  • wow

  • And it's called

    conquest of paradise - vangelis

  • the song is a Persian song from Iran.

    I know cause I'm persian.

  • @atosafi1 This music is actually by Vangelis a

    Greek musician who wrote this music for the movie 1942 Conquest of Paradise, nothing to with persia.

  • did anyone else her mel gibson shout FFFRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDOO­OOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM in there head at the end?

  • @xXRand0mnameXx nope

  • can someone tell me why there was a Wall between the two countries? Who was the good side?

  • @scvs2 DDR wanted to stop the brain drain to West Germany.

  • @mef83 the brain drain? what?

  • @mef83 Not just the brain drain, the refugee exodus from the country was untenable.

  • @scvs2 The soviet union occupied the east side of germany post-wwii while america, france, and britain occupied the west side of germany. Each country aided in the reconstruction of Germany, America was promoting capitalist ideals while the soviets were promoting communism

  • @Screch So who put up the wall east or west? And when they did build the wall how come people didnt run to the good other side?

  • @scvs2 There are some who ran to the other side. There's one guy in the military who crossed when the wall was just a low fence with barbed wire on it. Jumped right over. Idk who put the wall up, or if it was a joint effort, but russia put all the things for people trying to get across to the east side. all the spikes and stuff

  • @scvs2 Sum-it up! The postwar of WWII the two superpowers are in tension one is trying to spread Communism and another is trying to contain the spread of Communism. The people that want to spread Communism we're the Soviet Union and the one that wants to contain Communism are the allies France,Britain, and the United States mostly the UnitedStates which is the superpower.

  • @scvs2 Commies in the east, democrats in the west

  • @scvs2= I know I'll get trolled for this. The West side was good. Of course, there were good people in the east. Berlin has become more beautiful since then. I got to visit someday.

  • The Berlin Wall was a barrier that completely cut off West Berlin from surrounding East Germany and from East Berlin. The Soviet-dominated Eastern Bloc officially claimed that the wall was erected to protect its population from fascist elements conspiring to prevent the "will of the people" in building a Socialist State in East Germany.

  • @scvs2 ...This stupid question can write only American...

  • @scvs2 Not sure if there really is a "good side" but the "bad side" was the east German Government, who was fairly opressive. The wall was build to stop the people of east Germany fleeing to the west. When they closed the borders to west Germany, many went over Berlin to flee the country (ironically, they might have stayed if they could have left whenever they wanted). So they build the Wall to held people in.

  • @scvs2 they were both good sides... people are always good... it is the political shenanigans which paint othersas evil.....germant was divided.... deceived by great bankers..of the east and west,yet, the same bankers....now they are reuninted and germany is once again deceived to the same bankers now of the european union...

  • @scvs2 west berlin is the good side and have you ever heard of hitler? well after war world 2 was over stalin one of the dictaters made a wall and well ya

  • @scvs2

    After the war it was decided that in order to prevent Germany gaining such power again, that Berlin should be split, - essentially, half to the US and half to Russia. The Eastern bloc side was mostly poor and behind the times, they could not dream of the technology that those on the west lived with. It was very diffficult to go from one side to the other. Life was hard, and this led to many attempts to escape, such as digging trenches and flying over - yet these mostly failed.

  • @scvs2

    How bloody old are you? 6? For god's sake, anyone knows there was no "evil" or "good" side. Though, east germany disliked it's conditions in the USSR

    And you don't know why the wall was built in the first place? What the fuck? Do you have any idea what World war 2 is?

  • @scvs2 basically, there was communism on one side of germany, and the opposite on the other side, so they put a wall up to separate these differences. of course, people on the west side were lucky as it was not communist. there really was no good side either, they both were equal and didn't want a wall to segregate them.

  • @jazzythegreatest Wasn't Russia allied with the France, Britain, US etc? Why did they they block off east?

  • @scvs2 oh, they were far from it. i take it you know nothing about the cold war then? because if you look into that you shall know that russia was soon to be a germany of a world war.

  • @scvs2 the east side was communist the west was free

  • @scvs2  there's never a good or a bad side

  • @scvs2 because they wanted to seperate communist Germany from Democracy Germany

  • it would be amazing to see the wall come down...

  • the music was great!

    but i've been wondering where i can find these two things. ones a video of people sitting on the wall and two of them have flags and are waving them simultaniously. and the other is a photo i saw in a textbook long ago where someone spraypainted the wall is forever and right beside it the wall has a huge hole where people were tearing it down. i just really like the irony of that photo.

  • One of the greatest videos on the Berlin Wall I've ever seen. The music really helps to produce a gritty and sincere portrayal of the cold war.

  • WHat is this song called!!?!?

  • this songs from iran im from iran!!

  • It´s from 1492. Conquest of paradise.

  • @turboboy94 actually this song is by vangelis. he is greek. not iranian

  • its called." You are a Stupid Fuck" If the only thing that gets your attention when watching this is the Soundtrack then you are a douchebag...

  • u think he knew ´soundtrack from the name of video?

  • There's nothing like FREEDOM...!!!!

  • Freedom is something that one must want... NOT what others want for you.....

  • Oh i feel so sorry for the people who lived there. Must have been Hell..

  • Conquest of paradise. Vangelis. From the movie 1492.

  • what is the name of this song?

  • Comment removed

  • Thatcher, Gorbachev and Mitterand didn't want the wall to fall.

    Mitterand said "I love Germany so much I want there to be two of them"; and was debating allying with the USSR to send troops into Germany to stabalise it and prevent the borders of easter Europe being redrawn.

  • this anthen is beatiful ! what is that ?

  • We never should've allowed germany to reunite, who knows what kind of evils they have planned for us. This is a great threat for mother russia.

  • quick question... at 0:56, the soldier running is deserting or chasing someone?

  • @KanonXD : i think it was conrad schumann, a soldier from east germany who was guarding the berlin wall in its third day of construction. people from west called him and saked him to jump the wire - and so he did. you can find more information about him on wikipedia.

  • *asked him. sorry - my mistake.

  • I looked for it and found him o wiki

    Thank You for the Info.

  • it was my pleasure. :)

  • @evaliaro yeah he jumped it, and was like the 3rd person to jump the wall

  • @evaliaro He later committed suicide. Tragic story, but he was brave.

  • indeed.

  • @mef83 Actually, his defection was purely spontaneous. A nearby camera and reporter told him that once the wire was up, he was trapped. He jumped and made it to freedom. However, his family in Saxony got it in the neck by the Stasi. Then when the Wall fell and Germany reunited, he went back home and his family had branded him a traitor, coward, and other horrible names. he went back West with a humiliated and broken heart-that's why he committed suicide.

  • Said what? Colud you be a bit more specific?

  • Is there any city in the history of men who endured so much evil and injury as Berlin was?

    This city is the key witness of 20. century.

  • Jersualem has been fought over for centuries.

    Many cities have been utterly wiped off the face of the Earth; like Tenochtitlan, or Carthage.

    None has ever shown the rise and fall of Empires such as Berlin in the 20th century though.

  • I agree, Jerusalem is something above any other.

    But can you even imagine to wake up one morning in your city, come out to buy papers and find a big wall which will next 28 years separate you from your friends, family, things that you like....and destroy your life. How many destinies have been destroied that way?

    I know there is a many cities whose suffered, but this wall made Berlin for a symbol of human pain and agony.

    That s why i said Berlin is the key witness of 20th century.

  • you must not know a lot of history if you think Berlin has caused most evil and deaths

  • You got me wrong!

    I didn´t say that Berlin has ˝caused˝ the most evil and injury, i said that he ENDURED it.

    My point is that Berlin and Berliners are the victims of sinister empires.

  • certainly, the only other contender would be Korea, having been fought over by China and Japan for centuries it is still divided by the metaphorical Berlin Mauer which seperated Capitalist liberal-democracy and Command economy Communist-Dictatorship

  • Excellent!!! I absolutely agree with you.

    I m just hope that will come the day when the North and South Korea will be one.

  • Ich war dabei :D

  • I think this video is really sad at the start and really nice in the end! Nice

  • what is the name of the song ? its very thrilling

  • Yes it's very very thrilling !

  • the song is... " Vangelis - conquest of paradise "

  • hahah i shoulda guessed it was vangelis

  • Comunists sons of bitches

  • Allons, Didier! Que de propos intelligents et nuancés!

  • Comment removed

  • Que d'intelligence! Allez, mange ton gruau et va faire dodo. Je vais te chanter une berceuse.

  • cooles vid und jungs schaut mal auf GeileZone . com wenn ihr was lernen wollt

  • This video is great

  • Thank you very much.

    Das Video ist der Hammer!! Es fast ja auch sehr gut und knapp die Höhepunkte der berliner Mauer Zusammen. Mensch! Ich hätte sie auch zu gerne miterlebt.

  • ui thank the people who made communism fell before i was born but i can communism coming back one day like Iran coming communist i can see it happening and north Korea country's like that will rise and a new cold year will start

  • Yeah right, Iran as communists? yeah good luck they hate gays and all that stuffs. And a new cold war? You must seen to much movies. Go out some times. :D

  • ok explain how politics then im 17 and u are a little kid who doesn't understand what happens in the real world btw do you watch news cause i do i know iran and most middle east countries hate gays and it's illegal i know that so yea i know more about the world then you and i know what politics isso yea BAN i mean BAI

  • Communism has to do with respect to everybody. And they don't give respect to everybody, and the sovietunion did'nt do that either.

  • i know what communism is and i know how the soviet union collapse

  • It dose'nt sound like u know what communism is.

  • STFU now you know nothing little kid and stop hassling me bastard BYE!!!

  • I think i knew more than you actually. :)

  • can you actually let it go or always have to come back with stupid pathetic stament's that you know you can't explain in full detail so just grow up be or age and stop being such a n00b

  • Shut up, dickhead.

  • go ahead dick head

  • Well the communists were never exactly tolerant of minorities so I fail to see how them hating gays effects it. They are also one of North Korea's major trade partners, and sell technology and weaponry to each other. But Iran will never be communist, they hate religion.

    A new cold War is near impossible as Russia, although still a dictaorship is no longer communist and no longer holds completed control of eastern europe and central Asia.

  • Yup, you're right. :)

  • Iran is crap. Russia dont produce weapons to North Korea and China. Atleast i dont think so. Correct me if im wrong. I dont like Iran. They are selling Nuclear weapons to terroists.. And that makes me shiver a bit you know!

  • How do you sell nuclear weapons to terrorists when you don't have them yourself?!?

  • And denmark is crap because it kills people for no reason. Seriously dude, don't take everything from the media all seriously. Just because some people might be selling nuclear to other countries doesn't mean everyone is. Seriously... think about it.

  • Dude im danish and i live in denmark! and you are one of the most stupidest jerks ive ever talked to! Denmark never kills people. If it is its Taleban terroist who wants to kill you and me! so thats definetly for a reason right? dumbass. you dont have any knowledge in this.

  • Have you heard of involuntary euthanasia? Real or not?

  • What does homosexuality have to do with communism and yes, Iran probably wont become a Communism. But Korea diggin' a deep hole for itself by testing missiles and that shit.

  • You will probably hate my opinion, but i miss the Berlin wall. For me it was a teenage adventure going there in the mid 80,s, a bizarre place. Now its just another big city.

  • Do you have any idea of how many people died, directly or indirectly, because of your so called 'teenage adventure'?

    Grow up.

  • The name of the song?

  • The Song ist:

    Vangelis - Conquest of paradise

  • Hi!

    Can you send me this video please! I nedd it to produce an other film of the Berlin wall.

  • :_) que final más bonito

  • lucky ass Germans, but what the heck it ended the cold war right.

  • The U.S. has its own Berlin Wall, the Brownsville Wall, and it's time it came down. Google "Megamerge Dissolution Solution" to read how.

  • Thank God Germany is united!

  • Nice video, though I think the celebrations are not from the new year but the day of the reunification of Germa
