BERLIN - AUGUST 13: Two men look through a gap of the inner wall at a still-standing portion of the Berlin Wall at Bernauer Street on the 46th anniversary of construction of the Berlin Wall August 13, 2007 in Berlin, Germany. Authorities in the eastern German city of Magdeburg recently discovered a 1973 document of the former East German internal security agency, the Stasi, giving guards at border posts the order to shoot anyone trying to flee the country, even women and children. The document confirms that shooting escapees was an official policy of the former East German government, something former East German politicians have long denied. Over a thousand East Germans died while attempting to escape East Germany for the West. (Photo by Carsten Koall/Getty Images)
