  • To those who doubted the 'socialist' system of the DDR. Did you live there? Did you know what it was like? It was a totalitarian regime, terrorising its people. Just ask all the people who lost a loved one.

    And to think the only thing need to topple the regime, was to allow its citizens the right to travel abroad.

    It is just a shame that not enough high ranking East German officials were not put on trial for their atrocities committed.

  • @MagnusRex yea, i agree.

  • I was in Berlin with a school trip the week the pregnant women swam the river. they crossed right next to the Reichstag. What the documentary doesn't report is the failed attempt made the same week: a motorbike tried to run c/p Charlie but was stopped by the concrete/dynamite emergency barrier. Boom! It shoots across at 100km/h...

  • the escape from these 3 brothers was absolute awesome!

  • That plane rescue is so awesome

  • @0:23 The borderguards didn't open fire because they were afraid of hitting civilians on the western bank (Not shooting at western territory was only a theoretical rule that would be covered up by the Stasi in case it happened).

    The East German borderguards were instructed not to use their firearms if the 'trespasser' was seen by people (civilians, West Berlin Police) from the western side of the border.

  • Schwimmunterricht lohnt sich !

    

  • @chopper0 They weren't the only one who did this...a whole family escaped with a baloon...not to mention a couple of other crazy escapes...with the train, with a hijacked plane....

  • @UweSchenker Vielleicht wird sie das irgendwann mal.

  • ES LEBE DIE FREIHEIT!!!!

  • @Davidshootingstar Karl Marx and his fucked up idiotic doctrine is long dead. Karl Marx's ghost can come and suck my enormous cock.
