Berlin Wall

Winston Churchill was involved

Berlin, a city of 3.5 million with a very large land area, has a lot of postal codes. Try: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_postal_codes_in_Germany#10115_-_14199

Most people were afraid to challenge the Berlin Wall, because the eastern side of it had armed guards with a clear view of the wall and orders to shoot to kill. Despite this, about 100 people were killed trying to cross the wall and escape from communism into freedom.

No. The (exterior) walls are usually steel and glass (perhaps incorporating some aluminum), all of the weight of which is borne by the floors. The weight of the floors is borne by the vertical support columns, which are steel or reinforced concrete. They're tucked inside. The massive weight of the building is transferred into the support columns, and that compressive force is transferred in turn down into bedrock. Most of the tallest buildings have their load bearing columns "inside" away from the outer walls. That allows the outer wall of the building to be more fully developed for "the view" from higher elevations. It also protects the columns from damage due to the possible impact of an aircraft. That was part of the design consideration for the Empire State Building. And a good thing, too. The 102-story structure was struck by a B-25 flying in a thick fog on the morning of July 28th, 1945. That was Sunday. Much of the building was open for business the following day. In the case of the World Trade Center, the exterior of the buildings were steel load bearing walls. It was an extraordinary engineering concept! And the buildings were superb! But, in retrospect, it may have been an engineering error - a fatal idea.

Electron tubes are used to manipulate electronic or electrical signals. They can be employed to convert AC to DC, amplify, attenuate, switch, mix, or generate audio or radio signals. Tubes have been mostly replaced by solid-state devices such as the transistor, but still have some applications in modern electronics.

Reunification had an effect on Germany's international role in a large way, good and bad. At first people was appalled by the reunification but after some time the trading industry and other things was more popular than ever. There was still was a divide between west and east Germany, one being poorer than the other.

West Berlin was an outpost of Western European and American influence deep in Soviet-controlled territory.

It was a wall which separated east and west Berlin built by the Soviets shortly after the 2nd World War. Its function was to keep the population of East Germany inside the Russian sector; it discouraged defection.

The division of Germany and of Berlin was originally meant to be temporary. In 1947, Western leaders began planning for the creation of an independent democratic German nation. They also planned to establish a democratic government in West Berlin, which was deep inside the Soviet zone.

In June 1948, the Soviets blocked off all land, rail, and water routes into West Berlin. As a result, Berlin's 2 million residents were cut off from receiving vital supplies. The Soviets hoped this blockade would force the West to leave Berlin.

Western leaders then organized the Berlin airlift, a massive effort to supply West Berlin by air. This turned out to be a success, and the Soviets called off the blockade of Berlin in May 1949.

Within days of the end of this crisis, the Federal Republic of Germany, commonly called West Germany was formed. A few months later, the Soviet controlled area became the German Democratic Republic, or East Germany.

there are lots representations shown on the berlin wall.

Because the three essentials of American policy regarding Berlin were not affected.

The Walls Came Tumbling Down was created in 1997.

Most older inground pools are made to not buckle out from the water pressing against the walls-as opposed to buckling in. We had sever buckling on several panals over the years and came up with a simple way to repair AFTER DRAINING POOL ABOUT 4 FEET DOWN:

1. break up concrete above buckled panel (Home depot electric jackhamer $60 for 4 hours-easy to use)

2. Dig down apprx 3' to the concrete sill (its surrounding the entire inground pool) Clean out enough width so you can stand in hole and work.

3. find the triangle looking brace that holds the wall from buckling out-you'll notice the metal panel is not bolted to it and is probable 2 inches or more buckled away from it. Clear all dirt 3 feet to left and right of metal triangle(you may need to break more concrete) all the way down to concrete sill.

4. remove white plastic cap that covers your vinyl liner in area above buckle and pull or work out the liner from the groove it sits in in THAT AREA ONLY. You can stretch out the liner away from the wall with a plastic whiffle ball bat or someone can hold it out for you.

5. drill 3 holes (top middle bottom) in triangle brace and all the way through the metal panel pool wall into the pool-(have someone hold out liner so it doesn't get torn and also hold hand under where drill will come through to catch metal shavings)

6. Buy a 2' long by 1/8" thick aluminum yardstick looking thing (Home depot-$5 near all the metal rods and bracings isle)

7. While holding that aluminim bar in pool-under the liner of course- cover the 3 holes and mark it with a pencil pushed from the already drilled holes on the outside. Pick up the bar and drill matching 3 holes.

8. hold aluminum bar in place and push each of 3 1/2"x8" round head galvanized lag bolts (threaded from top to bottom-some home depots only sell bolts threaded at very end) You may have to make the holes in aluminum bar wider to accomodate the squared area near rounded heads of bolts so it sits in better)

9. Push bolts through till they enter through steel triangle support-use galvanized 1/2" washer and nut and tighten each till pool wall touches the steel triangle support.

10. Cover all with duct tape, and then put liner back in groove, cover with the white plastic cap-fill in hole-pour new concrete-DONE!!!!-I've done this in several areas of our 30+ year old inground pool and it works GREAT!!!

There was no wall that divided Russia. You could be referring to another wall, like the Berlin Wall, which divided Berlin, due to Russia involvement in Berlin, though Berlin is not in Russia. It started to come down in November 1989.

Google Maps says that it is 563km from Dusseldorf to Berlin and should take 5 hours 15 minutes.

There are 4000 stars to honor the dead from World War II

CORRECTION: Actually there are 4048* stars

It was built in 1961, and pulled down on 1989.
