Border fence shifts on East German frontier amid fading life
US Army observers aboard a helicopter along the East West German border describe a changed frontier. The fence has moved back, mines and electrified lines have been removed, and towns near the line are abandoned or relocated. Guards, patrols, and customs officers note reduced activity but ongoing tension as the border remains heavily fortified and watched.
