By the way Keith -
"The 900 mile wall across Germany"
The Berlin Wall was 155 km (96 mi) - maybe you should send Wiki a new tape measure!!


By the way Jim the 155 km of wall you refer to as the Berlin Wall was only one part of the 900 mile wall that was built to imprison the population of the DDR.

By the way Jim the one thing you didn't mention whilst on your travels. Did you ever have to sit on the floor of a train because of the countless thousands of oppressed people fleeing from the "west" to that "Workers Paradise" that was the DDR? The most under reported mass immigration in history.
