I was born August 1992 the year after the dissolusion of the USSR so I have no memories of the Cold War.

One little thing that I missed: Walter Ulbricht (one of the most important politician in DDR) answer on a question from the press about the boarder and it's enforcement: "Nobody intends to build a wall" and two month later they started building the freaking wall.
I’m pretty excited about this video. I’m in Berlin right now, celebrating being born on November 9th 1989.
