  • Now we need to make the wall in Palestine fall!

  • great pictures and of course "Winds of Change"! i was there in 1985 when it seemed to us that it would never come down. awesome picture of the DDR guards standing there as the section came down, they must have been baffled by us!

  • Excellent Video...it must have been so hard for the post WWII generations in DDR.

    Everyone was happy when the wall came down even here in the US.

  • How's God? Shes Black.

  • older people who were under commies come to berlin and still talk like ''oh is that the museum on the east side or the west'' they still slice the city in half in their mind, this shows that the wall still lives on in their minds, but they are happy that they are free now, oh and fudge every one eight german who wants the wall back up!!!

  • Long live Germany a love for them from Pakistan..........

  • @moshpotpaul because god is often depicted as a white male
