The Historical Story of the Berlin Wall

Unexpectedly, China's name will be read in the Berlin Wall Memorial Hall. The code name of the Berlin Wall Project is "China Great Wall II".

August, 196 1, a dull summer. Tired of a large number of East Germans fleeing to the west via Berlin, East Germans and Soviets made a beautiful sneak attack. 1 On the morning of August 2, 2008 1, more than 20,000 troops suddenly arrived at the junction of East and West Berlin, and immediately began the construction of the Berlin Wall. It should be said that this project named after the Great Wall of China is well prepared, and it is definitely not tofu. /kloc-the first phase of the project was completed in the early hours of 0/3, and the whole east-west Berlin was completely divided by barbed wire, plus roadblocks. The Berlin Wall was formally established.

However, God is really joking. During the construction of the Berlin Wall, East Germans began to cross the Berlin Wall and fled to West Germany. The East Germans' spirit of racing against time left an eternal mystery for the historical study of the Berlin Wall. Whether there was the Berlin Wall first, then the action of crossing the river, or whether it started crossing the river before Espa Lear got up, we will never get the answer.

According to historical records, the Berlin Wall was initially completed, which formally divided East and West Berlin. 13 at noon, 12: 37, and the last intersection was announced as a sign. But in 13, the earliest East Germans began to fight the Berlin Wall with their lives. On that day, a mechanic jumped into West Berlin across the barbed wire being erected, and someone jumped into the canal and swam to West Berlin. However, God played a trick on people, and no one thought of recording the time when they set foot on the territory of West Germany.

13 in the morning, West Germans flocked to the Berlin Wall and threw their passes and identity documents at their compatriots on the other side of the wall. By the time the Soviets could stop this move, thousands of documents had been thrown into the hands of East German compatriots. A large number of East Germans took the opportunity to sneak over the Berlin Wall among West Germans returning to West Berlin.

13 In the afternoon, after the Berlin Wall was erected, the first person who crossed the Berlin Wall appeared. In broad daylight, a young man rushed to the barbed wire at a speed of 100 meters. However, three * * caught up with him and knocked him down. Unexpectedly, he miraculously stood up again after being knocked down, grabbed a gun from * * and continued to run to West Berlin while confronting * *. * * is due diligence, regardless of the young man's gun, they rushed up and scuffled with him, stabbed the young man's knee. This time, the young man lost the ability to run, and faced with three * *, the ending was doomed.

However, God is determined to show you a comedy, not a tragedy. At this moment, the thunderous roar of the people of West Berlin awakened three * *. They have crossed the Berlin Wall, and now they are on the land of West Germany. They are no longer criminals, but criminals. They abandoned their youth and ran back to the other side of the Berlin Wall. The young man dragged his crippled leg and climbed to West Berlin while desperately calling for help.

It turns out that this is a big misunderstanding. In fact, the Berlin Wall was not built along the border between East Germany and West Germany, but on the East German side. This is to ensure that even if you cross the Berlin Wall, you are still on the land of East Germany, and the army still has the power and ability to shoot you. At that time, San * * did not cross the line, and the young man could be legally tied back to East Germany. However, in the face of the first confrontation on the Berlin Wall, they misunderstood and were afraid. The young man miraculously escaped the bad luck hanging over him.

This is the first fugitive to cross the Berlin Wall. Perhaps this first man set the tone for the story of fleeing to the Berlin Wall. In the legend of the Berlin Wall, there are tears, tragic and helpless, but there are also humorous, funny and tearful stories.

Second, the most lovely and miserable (on)

There are a lot of competitors to say the cutest fugitive. First of all, there are two lovers, one is Argentine and the other is Australian. Just look at the way they escape, and they can do it. Even if millions of die-hard Germans fled, they could not make such a humorous plan.

The Berlin Wall is not monolithic. There are always several doors and traffic stops. Therefore, the GGs couple, who were trapped in East Berlin, started the idea of building a traffic station. Through investigation and study, traffic stops block traffic by railings. Although the railing is strong and bumpy, it is relatively high. If the car is short enough, you can drill directly under the railing.

So the plan was born. I put my mm in my suitcase, and when * * wasn't paying attention, I went to West Berlin with full power from under the railing.

Just do it, so gg from Australia took the bride to West Berlin.

If the story ends here, there will be no humor. But at this time, gg of Argentina appeared. He fully shows the characteristics of South Americans who are full of blood but don't like to use their brains. He thought the plan was good and decided to cook the bowl himself. The so-called compliance is actually compliance. He even borrowed the same car directly from an Australian! That's right. It's hard to find such a short car. The problem is, he didn't even install it, didn't even change the license plate, and just drove away.

Gg of Argentina drove into East Berlin in the car that was reported in detail in this newspaper. At first glance, this car looks familiar in East Germany, but no one would have guessed that there are such bold people in the world. * * Ask "Has this car been to East Germany before?" Gg of Argentina replied with a straight face "Of course not". * * oneself also confused, a wave of his hand, let go!

As a result, a week later, the same car took another couple to West Berlin in the same way. On the occasion of their wedding, outraged East Germany erected countless iron bars under the railing, not to mention cars, and even a snake would never come out from under the railing again!

Another competitor is a five-year-old boy. His family went through the tunnel from the Berlin Wall to West Berlin. The tunnel was dug for six months. And because East Berlin is densely covered with plainclothes, the tunnel has to be dug from West Berlin. The requirement is absolutely not to do ground investigation, but also to dig directly into the toilet of the person being met. In order not to be discovered by ground personnel, the tunnel goes deep underground 12 meters!

Such a huge project and such a long time, I really don't know how the fugitives put up with the psychological pressure for such a long time. But this kid knows nothing. When he appeared in West Berlin from the tunnel, he expressed the following feelings to reporters and rescuers:

"This big hole is scary, but there are no wild animals."

At that moment, I thought of the famous French film A Beautiful Life.

Second, the most lovely and miserable (below)

It's easy to write about love. Facing the cold reality, human beings use their confidence and humor to resist. Even the worst cold can't suppress hope and warmth. However, it is really not good to write about suffering.

Among the fugitives from the Berlin Wall, those who "failed" are undoubtedly miserable. 196 1 year, 18-year-old Peter Fichte is such a person. He has climbed to the top of the Berlin Wall, and he only needs one last effort to achieve his goal. At this moment, the gun rang. ......

Peter slipped back to the east side of the Berlin Wall.

Before the tragedy was over, Peter, who was shot several times, fell under the Berlin Wall, bleeding profusely. I don't know whether the police inspector in East Germany dared not take responsibility for the moment and asked his superiors, or whether he really committed suicide (I would rather believe it was the former). So Peter lay under the wall for 50 minutes without an East German police inspector to take care of him.

Peter's cry dropped bit by bit, dropped. Angry protests broke out in the crowd in West Berlin. "You are murderers" roared thousands of people. The police inspector of West Germany ventured to the front of the Berlin Wall (as mentioned above, this is extremely dangerous, the west side of the Berlin Wall is still East German land, and the police inspector has "crossed the border" and may be shot) and threw the first aid kit at Peter. But it's too late. Peter has lost the ability to save himself.

Peter finally stopped breathing. His blood has run out, and the last thing reflected in his blue eyes is East Berlin. Fifty minutes later, the East German police inspector carried his body away.

If Peter's greatest misfortune is that he didn't succeed in the end, I wonder if the following example of "success" is lucky.

In the year when the Berlin Wall was just built, because the wall was not very strong, someone came up with a way to drive a heavy vehicle directly into the wall! Straight through the Berlin Wall and into West Germany.

196 1 year, with as many as 14 such incidents.

Fugitives have to face not only solid high walls, but also intensive shooting by the army and police.

Friends with common military knowledge know that civilian car walls and doors are nothing to a bullet with strong penetrating power. Hiding behind a car and avoiding the other side's shooting in Hong Kong movies is totally funny. Therefore, those who attack the Berlin Wall in this way are actually walking through the unsuspecting bullets to get a chance of a serious traffic accident!

Third, we Germans are all engineers.

The above article is too heavy, please be light.

German mechanical design and manufacturing capabilities are world-famous. In the process of escaping from the Berlin Wall, it also fully reflected the technical level of the German people. Sing according to the popular songs now, that is:

"We are all Germans, we are special engineers, we are sausages with beer, and we are all living Mercedes-Benz" (German engineer Mercedes-Benz, founder of Mercedes-Benz).

1968, an East German youth used river diving to reach West Germany. What is diving in everyone's mind? Diving suit? Diving goggles? In short, how capable can he be? He has to do everything by himself, at most, a little rough personal diving tools?

No, this young man built his own diving boat!

He uses a motorcycle motor, has his own assembled steel plates, and has navigation and compressed gas systems.

I just built a small submarine for my own use. How about the quality? I think it can pass the ISO9002 international certification. The submarine sailed underwater for more than five hours before it surfaced safely from West Germany. Some students said that five hours is a bit too long, and you can't do anything. Try to take a scooter motor to dive.

This small submarine is certainly a miracle. The escape of the young man made him find a job in West Germany immediately, and major machinery companies competed to hire the young man as a designer. I heard that he later made great achievements in mechanical design.

But forget about the small submarine, and then there came a tougher one. On the run, I accidentally set the Guinness Book of Records.

1979 One night, a huge hot air balloon rose from the backyard of a family in East Germany. There are two families in the hanging basket under the balloon-two couples and their four children. This balloon was completely handmade by these two companies, which took several years. During the period, the two families taught themselves, from materials science, engineering, gas dynamics, meteorology hot air balloon!

After investigation, this hot air balloon is the largest hot air balloon in European history, and it is recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records!

This hot air balloon was discovered when it crossed the Berlin Wall. * * dumbfounded, remember to shoot. This time, the balloon's good craftsmanship was brought into play. The escaped prisoner manipulated the hot air balloon and rose to an altitude of more than 2800 meters. Not only can't the gun hit, but even the searchlight can't hit! * * had to call the air force for emergency support. "The Yangtze River, the Yangtze River, this is the Yellow River. Go out quickly, find a hot air balloon and shoot it down. Yes, it's a hot air balloon. I repeat, hot air balloon! "

The Soviet Air Force's "Su" and "Mi" fighters immediately dispatched, but the hot air balloon completed its mission and landed safely after flying for 28 minutes.

The problem is that when the balloon was found, the two families decided to land immediately to avoid being shot down by fighter planes. This "crash landing", no one determine the direction, also can't determine the landing position. No one knows whether he has arrived in West Germany or was forced to land in East Germany.

It is estimated that they have no psychological lessons in their studies in recent years, and in the face of unknown prospects, all eight people have lost the courage to verify. They didn't dare to get out of the balloon at all, so they hid in the hanging basket for 24 hours. They don't have the courage to reveal their fate to their faces. All they can do is pray.

Twenty-four hours after landing, the soldiers came and opened the balloon. They told eight fugitives what they had been looking forward to for years.

"You have your own reasons. This is the territory of West Germany. "

Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to study.

The following story proves that there are always some things in this world that you can't even think of.

If you had to hide a person in a car and sneak over the Berlin Wall, where would you hide him? Trunk? Chassis? Under the seat?

I'm afraid no one can imagine hiding people in the engine part of a car. Don't say that the high temperature there is due to the engine and a lot of exhaust gas. Most people don't burn or choke when they put it there. Even without these problems, you can lift the hood of any car and see how it is put under people.

However, it turns out that one person can be put down there, and this person can stay at the engine for at least 2 hours to stay awake. Nine East Germans who escaped from the engine to the Berlin Wall can testify. Their stories are even smaller than the "shrinking bones" described by Mr. Jin Yong.

According to the data, they all twisted themselves into, twisted themselves into, it's hard to say what shape they twisted themselves into. In a word, they are like plasticine without bones, which can be deformed at will and stuffed into the gap between the engine and the hood bit by bit. Then I crossed the Berlin Wall. After arriving in West Berlin, they need 1-2 hours to "recover" themselves bit by bit. First a leg comes out, then a head comes out. Gradually, the shape of a person just rises from the engine. In the video, a large group of enthusiastic people from West Germany are helping. But soon, "not helping" became the rule. Because the escaped prisoner's posture is so strange, he can only recover gradually on his own. Inexperienced people can only help more.

In Hong Kong movies, * * or gangsters often jump off footbridges and land on the roofs of passing cars. This is a movie for us, but it is a part of life for Berliners.

Every tall building near the Berlin Wall has become a place where East Germans "jump off buildings". Don't worry, jumping off a building here is not for death, but for survival. As long as you climb upstairs and show your intention to escape, your compatriots in West Berlin will flock to meet you with sheets. Get up your courage and jump down. As long as you have a good direction, you can cross the Berlin Wall in the air and fall on the sheets.

Of course, not everyone has such a high talent for sports. There was once a family of three who jumped off a building together. The 6-year-old child succeeded, but his parents fell to the ground, one injured his internal organs and the other his spine. In a short period of time, four people died because of jumping off a building.

The oldest jumper is a 77-year-old woman. Before she jumped down, she was so scared that she fell on the floor. No matter how you encourage and beg, you can't jump down. Just as the West Berliners were preparing to disperse in disappointment, the accident happened. * * in East Berlin found this situation and rushed into the building. The sound of * * breaking the door gave the old lady endless motivation. She rushed to the window and jumped down decisively. ......

Later, because the west side of the Berlin Wall still belongs to East Germany, the responding West Germany invaded the territory of East Germany, and the jumper responded with a car. The pre-arranged car at the top suddenly rushed to the Berlin Wall, and the jumper seized the opportunity, jumped down with the quilt and went straight to the top of the car. The car immediately returned to the interior of West Berlin.

It was not until East Germany made up its mind to raze all the high-rise buildings on the East German side of the Berlin Wall, leaving a "terror zone" of several hundred meters, that someone really continued this rule of jumping off a building to escape. The German engineer designed a powerful ejection device, jumped from a tall building in East Berlin, "bounced" several hundred meters to West Berlin, and then landed slowly with his own parachute.

Five, all in the past.

In the 30 years before the Berlin Wall, I only saw Berliners cry twice.

First, in 196 1 year, the Berlin Wall was being erected. At that time, the Berlin Wall was still a "transparent" barbed wire. Across the barbed wire, thousands of Germans talked and comforted each other. I have noticed many such scenes. A well-dressed middle-aged couple calmly comforted the young man opposite, and he was in tears.

I asked my German classmates, and the answer was family. On that day, my children went from East Berlin to West Berlin for work, school or just for a while. My parents are still in East Berlin.

They went to the Berlin Wall to see each other for the last time. Those calm parents must be telling their children that from now on, you are on your own, and you will never go back to East Germany. You should live in West Germany firmly!

At first glance, there are so many such parents.

Later,1989165438+10.9, East Germany announced the opening of the entire Berlin Wall. At that time, the Germans frantically rushed to the Berlin Wall. German residents hugged and cried together. It's the first time I've seen Germans lose control like this. There were many people, some of them played music, so people danced, sang, cheered and laughed all over the sky. Just after a while, maybe, I don't know who or why, I suddenly began to cry. Perhaps, just to say goodbye to my parents 28 years ago, I will never go back to the Berlin Wall and tell myself again, "You must be strong and live."

So the crying became louder and louder, and thousands of people cried together. Everyone has a good reason. Laugh for good reason, and cry for good reason. Under this wall, a German legend is buried.

After all, Germans are lucky. The Berlin Wall witnessed the sufferings of the Germans, and the whole world shared their sufferings. They are being watched. However, the pain of so many people is completely silent.

Just a few years after the Germans faced the Berlin Wall, millions of Vietnamese boat people fled to the sea. There are no videos, no words, and no assistance from western compatriots like Germany. They held the same dream as the Germans and fled in the same tragic way. And their mortality rate is many times higher than that of Germans!

Where are they? Where is their Berlin Wall? Today, I saw the Berlin Wall at the UN headquarters in new york, but who recorded what for those Vietnamese boat people?

Today, can't we see the "Berlin Wall" and similar tragedies that still exist?

When I told that German classmate, he was silent and said, "Maybe, it will get better bit by bit."

I don't know.

In short, the story of the Berlin Wall is over. Besides, it's a comedy ending. There are many human stories, such as the Berlin Wall, which is so tragic. It's good that they can end up like this.

196 1 13 In August, the Berlin Wall was completed, which divided Germany into East Germany and West Germany (Federal Republic of Germany and German Democratic Republic). The Berlin Wall split a complete Germany in two for 28 years.
