Source 1: Reagan’s Remarks on East-West Relations at the Brandenburg Gate in West Berlin, June 12, 1987

(1) … Behind me stands a wall that encircles the free sectors of this city, part of a vast system of barriers that divides the entire continent of Europe. From the Baltic, south, those barriers cut across Germany in a gash of barbed wire, concrete, dog runs, and guard towers. Farther south, there may be no visible, no obvious wall. But there remain armed guards and checkpoints all the same—still a restriction on the right to travel, still an instrument to impose upon ordinary men and women the will of a totalitarian state. Yet it is here in Berlin where the wall emerges most clearly; here, cutting across your city, where the news photo and the television screen have imprinted this brutal division of a continent upon the mind of the world. Standing before the Brandenburg Gate, every man is a German, separated from his fellow men. Every man is a Berliner, forced to look upon a scar.…

(2) … And now the Soviets themselves may, in a limited way, be coming to understand the importance of freedom. We hear much from Moscow about a new policy of reform and openness. Some political prisoners have been released. Certain foreign news broadcasts are no longer being jammed. Some economic enterprises have been permitted to operate with greater freedom from state control. Are these the beginnings of profound changes in the Soviet state? Or are they token gestures, intended to raise false hopes in the West, or to strengthen the Soviet system without changing it? We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace.…

Source 2: Harald Jäger—The Man Who Opened the Berlin Wall

(1) Harald Jäger was on duty as the East German border guard officer in charge of the Bornholmer Strasse crossing of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989. A few hours earlier, in keeping with the pressure to liberalize that was mounting across eastern Europe, East Berlin politburo member Günter Schabowski had announced that East Germans could travel to the West with correct travel documents. However, he ended his announcement with the words “immediately and without delay.”

(2) These words caused great confusion and led to thousands of East Germans coming to checkpoints and asking if they could go to West Berlin. Mr. Jäger tried several times to get clarification from his superiors, but no one was quite sure what was allowed. Eventually, he was told to start letting the noisiest East Berliners through but make their passports invalid. This only led to a noisier crowd.

(3) As the crowd grew and grew, he feared a stampede. Even more, he feared a bloodbath, as all of the East German guards were heavily armed. Mr. Jäger feared that they must do something or people would be hurt. Finally, at 11:30 p. m. on November 9, 1989, Mr. Jäger gave the order, “Open the barrier,” and in so doing unwittingly entered history as the man who opened the Berlin Wall. Thousands and thousands of East Berliners streamed into West Berlin to freedom. The next day, Berliners began to physically tear the wall.
