The Berlin Wall (Part 1) - Mitsi Studio

Play World of Warships with this link: https://wo.ws/MitsiYT and enjoy our special invite code: IMPACTFORCE designed specifically for the peak smooth start. In this explainer, we break down the Berlin Wall, why it was built, how the DDR tried to keep people in (thanks, Stasi), and how a divided city became the ultimate Cold War symbol. History, drama, daring escapes… and one very awkward press conference that accidentally changed everything.
