    13 August 1961 - EAST IS SEALED OFF FROM WEST IN A DIVIDED CAPITAL:
    While the city sleeps, Soviet-backed East German soldiers begin erecting
    a barbed-wire barrier in Berlin, making solid what's been for 15 years a geopolitical split within Germany's capital. Transit between communist
    East Berlin and capitalist West Berlin is now strictly verboten.

    A guarded concrete barrier that encircled West Berlin of the Federal
    Republic of Germany (FRG) from 1961 to 1989, separating it from East
    Berlin and the German Democratic Republic (GDR).Construction of the
    Berlin Wall was commenced by the government of the GDR on 13 August
    1961. It included guard towers placed along large concrete walls,
    accompanied by a wide area (later known as the "death strip") that
    contained anti-vehicle trenches, beds of nails and other defenses. The
    primary intention for the Wall's construction was to prevent East German citizens from fleeing to the West.
