Uhhh ... Henri ... some of us are old enough to remember The Wall going 
up, much less coming down, and flew helicopter patrols along the fence 
portions in Bayern as our National Guard training duty.  We had a couple 
of kids in my (German-speaking) grade school (in Minnesota) who came to 
live with distant cousins after their parents were shot and killed by 
the Vopos while pushing them through open windows into West Berlin's 
American Zone.  One of them had to have part of his face rebuilt to 
repair the damage done by a Vopo dog that grabbed his cheek as he went 
over the top of the bricks.  Allo of us kids HATED the DDR government.
