“without a shot” – Fall of the Berlin Wall (360 Pano)

เกี่ยวกับ

The Berlin Wall had practically separated a city and a country into two. It has also stood for the division of Europe and the world into a free and an unfree part. Twenty years ago, the Wall fell completely peacefully, without a shot, without bloodshed. It was like a miracle. The peaceful protests of the people in the socialist German Democratic Republic (GDR) had developed slowly but steadily over months and could not finally be held back. The obstinate GDR regime that has refused basic reforms right to the end, had failed due to the will of the people to be free. Not even a year had passed between the fall of the Wall and reunification when on 3 October 1990, we achieved German unity in peace and freedom and with the consent of our partners and allies in the world. – Dr Helmut Kohl, Federal Chancellor (retired) Map – http://g.co/maps/92v8
