Hang on, let's get this straight. There was free travel across the
Berlin wall? Is that what you are saying? That anyone from the East
could, without let or hindrance, cross and re-cross the wall at any
time? So what was the wall for, then? Why did people get shot
crossing it at night, if they could cross it freely whenever they
wanted?
