They were called wall woodpeckers with their little chisels and such, taking that wall apart. But officially it wouldn't be taken down till 1990. It took about two years to actually dismantle the wall. But as soon as the wall went down, it wasn't far, just a couple of months before East Germany and West Germany united and we have a new history on our hands. So there you go, guys. There's a sketchy history of the Berlin Wall. Please at least know that it was between West Berlin and East Berlin and not East Germany and West Germany.
