Victor Ross is the American Soldier in the Western part of Berlin during the wall was being erected. He falls in love with an East Berliner, Ana Menz. Victor Ross Believes in Freedom and tries to do the right thing while in West Berlin. He tries to get Ana out of East Berlin.

Ana Menz is an East German girl who feels trapped in a cage and is torn between her family and Victor Ross. She also is kept inside of Eastern Berlin with help of Karl Pressler. She dislikes the wall and most of all Karl Pressler.

Karl Pressler is completely brainwashed by Communism. Karl also likes Ana, and does everything in his power to keep Ana inside the Eastern part of Berlin. He can’t stand seeing Ana with Victor Ross.

The Berlin Wall in my mind was the last show of force by the Communists in Europe. It didn’t just separate East Germany West Germany but also drew a line in the minds of Western Berliners with Eastern Berliners. It tore apart families and took away their freedom.

The scene that stuck the most to me was when they killed Peter Fechter. He tried to escape to West Berlin But got shot trying to. The Border guards left him there to die. He lied there screaming for about an hour till he just bled to death.

The Soviets took all measures to ensure that no one will escape to West Berlin. Everything from tanks to watchdogs protected the Berlin Wall. At least a hundred people died on the wall of the Berlin Wall.
