The whole border area was on the territory of East Berlin/East Germany. The
border between East and West Berlin was after the last Wall. This last Wall is
known as the Berlin Wall. However, the Berlin Wall was a complex system of
walls, fences, watchtowers and barrieres The area between the Backland Wall (3)
and the Last Wall (11) was the so-called death strip.
The document is an original document of the East German border troops.
