I can't tell you anything new that hadn't been mentioned here cause I've been only 3 years old at that point and all my knowledge comes from what my parents told me (I lived in the GDR) about it. It's never actually been a topic in school frown

I just wanted to tell you how amazed I am that so many people (especially Americans) here know what happened, that it was an issue for them and that they can still remember how they felt that time.
You often come across that stereotype of the overly patriotic Yanks who wouldn't know anything about the existence of the wall let alone its downfall (yeah, I know, I'm a fan of exaggeration).

And here I see that you probably know more about it than I do wink

Thanks a lot for that insight!

PS: Hopefully I didn't offend anybody by that comment. At least, I didn't intend to do so, I just wanted to show my delight smile
