Only the East Germany Communist government along with the Soviet Union were strongly supportive of the wall. Prior to the building of the wall in Aug 1961, over 2 million East Germans had immigrated to the west, especially West

Germany. This created a huge "brain drain", that couldn't continue forever. Obviously, the people on both sides of the wall were very upset. Families were divided and cut off from each other. East Berliners, whose jobs were in West Berlin, were forced to find work in the DDR. The people in East Berlin knew that the wall was built to keep them in, not the opposite which was the progaganda at that time! For the vast majority of East Berliners and East Germans, hatred of the Communist state was very strong! Berliners are some of the toughest people you will find in the world. Any people that can survive round-the-clock bombing as Berlin did during World War II, and rebuild their lives is remarkable!

For the East Berliners, life had to go on and adjustments to their living situation had to be accepted, but the thought of reunification never went away!
