There is a segment about remnants of the border wall/fence structure between the divided Germany during the Cold War. It details the evolution of the border and it's effects on the East German people. It shows the construction of the border system and the periodic updating of that system. It even touches on the dangers of crossing the border to escape East German tyranny.
Sadly, it doesn't not mention the American presence on the west side of the border and how thousands of troops spent countless hours paroling and monitoring the border looking for escapees and, more importantly looking for a buildup of Russian troops planning on an invasion of Europe. The Americans was a deterrent to that invasion and it happened right on the border shown in this episode.
