This fence was 1393 kilometers long
When Michael Cramer comes to Checkpoint Alpha, he can see that everything is the same as it was. The watchtowers, the fence, and the dog-run areas have been preserved. Cramer met a man who had worked for 40 years in the federal border-protection authority on the western side. That man accompanied him on a bicycle tour of the Wall. He showed him a less-frequented trail along the Wall and told him the following story: “Mr. Cramer, there were some school kids here on a school trip and a smart kid asked me: ‘I can understand that you can’t get over the fence, but one can walk around the outside’. I told him: ‘No! This fence was 1393 km long!’ And the whole class went: ‘Oh’. I'm telling you this story just because it’s sometimes hard for us – those who lived in those times and experienced it – to even imagine that there are younger generations that are struggling to picture this reality.”
