The official order for the start of the construction of the Berlin wall was issued on 13 August 1961. The roughly 43 kilometer barrier included watch towers, check-points, barbed wire and mines, creating a border strip separating the Western Allies' enclave of West Berlin, from the rest of the city. The wall fell on 09 November 1989. EPA/OMER MESSINGER
