There are plenty of different sources from the days of the fall of the Berlin wall and opening the border between BRD and DDR. The file of the government spokesman of the DDR at the Senior Legal Secrecy of the DDR refers to the real circumstances of summer and autumn 1989: hundred thousands of young people of the DDR tried to escape the DDR by passing Hungary or CSSR. To stop this movement, freedom of travelling was allowed. As shown in the source, the manuscript was proofread. This text was actually read loudly from Günter Schabowski. He stated that the decision to give the freedom of travelling for nearly everybody is valid immediately. When the checkpoints opened thousands of people tried to go from West to East in Berlin. This hours of the 9th November are shown in different German newspapers. They all showed Germany as a happy Nation, the event as historical very important and the West and the East politicians gave interviews that the new situation needs new discussions and the newspapers give a lot of information. There is no source from DDR, so we do not see the Eastern official view by newspaper (the newspapers had no freedom to report independently from the government.). But there is an important interview with a regular DDR/East-Berlin citizen, who tells dramatically, how she heard of the opening of the checkpoints in Berlin, how she decided to test it and went to the Bornholmer Straße, which was closed since the Wall had been built, 13 August 1961.
