Early Berlin Wall Construction - from our story 'The Building Of The Berlin Wall – 1961-1962'

Typical of East Berlin measures to halt the escape of refugees to the West are these bricked-up windows in an apartment house along the city’s dividing line in Berlin on Oct. 6, 1961. The house, on the south side of Bernauerstrasse, is in East Berlin. The sidewalk and street in the foreground are in West Berlin . (AP Photo/Eddie Worth) PA-9301512
