The barrier included guard towers placed along large concrete walls, which circumscribed a wide area (later known as the "death strip") that contained anti-vehicle trenches, "fakir beds" and other defenses. The Eastern Bloc claimed that the wall was erected to protect its population from fascist elements conspiring to prevent the "will of the people" in building a socialist state in East Germany. In practice, the Wall served to prevent the massive emigration and defection that marked Germany and the communist Eastern Bloc during the post-World War II period."--Wikipedia. 606 $aWorld politics$y1955-1965 606 $aBerlin Wall, Berlin, Germany, 1961-1989 607 $aBerlin (Germany)$xPolitics and government$y1945-1990 610 $aPolitics & government 615 0$aWorld politics 615 0$aBerlin Wall, Berlin, Germany, 1961-1989. 676 $a943/.155/087 700 $aSlusser$b Robert M$0571607 712 02$aProject Mus 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524859803321 996 $aThe Berlin Crisis of 1961$92721008 997 $aUNINA
