Just in time for the recent 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, boston.com's Big Picture has a great collection of photos -- both contemporary and recent -- that show what the Wall once looked like, and how it looks now. This is great!
An Insight to the Berlin Wall
In a New York Times article about the fall of the Berlin Wall 20 years ago, they add a schema of a typical section of the German-German border, showing that the "Wall" was not really only a wall, but rather an elaborate combination of measures to keep people from fleeing their own country. Pretty impressive and sad at the same time.
