OK,  did they give you this type of info?

     Germany Info Home: Welcome: Berlin - Capital City: The Berlin Wall
     The Berlin Wall
     Total length: (East Berlin 43.1 km, DDR 111.9) 155 km
     Concrete slab wall, approximately 4 meters high: 106 km
     Wire mesh fencing, 3-4 meters high: 67 km
     Sentry towers: 302
     Bunkers: 20
     Anti-tank emplacements, up to 5 meters deep: 0.9 km
     Anti-vehicle trenches: 105 km
     Contact fence and signal fence: 127 km
     Column track, 6-7 meters wide: 124 km
     Overall, more than 5,000 persons, so-called "Wall Breakers", succeeded 
in crossing the Wall. Over 3,200 were arrested while attempting to escape 
and, as a rule, they were sentenced to several years in prison.

     More than 100 people were killed attempting to cross the Wall, over 
200 were wounded by gun shots. Because extreme secrecy was maintained in the 
German Democratic Republic regarding such matters, research on the exact 
figures is not yet complete.

Thanks.  Just incase we didn't see it on the news, or the History channel, 
or heck, remember 15 years ago when it fell.
What would I do with Euric searching the news for me?  hahaha....
