Video Description
On 28 December 1961, Tom St John Barry travelled along the western side of the frontier which divided Germany into the Federal Republic and Democratic Republic. Accompanied by the Federal Border Guard, the ITN team went from the point where Czechoslovakia and East and West Germany meet to the Baltic coast, taking in sightings of the death strip and the sparsely populated control zone as they went. 'Roving Reports' was a series of documentary reports from around the world, produced by ITN News and broadcast between 1957 and 1964. #Czechoslovakia #GermanDemocraticRepublic #IronCurtain #EastGermany #WestGermany #DDR #GDR #BRD #ColdWar #History #EasternBloc #Communism #SovietWave #SovietUnion #Soviets #Germany To license the footage featured in this clip, follow the link below: https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/search/2/film?family=editorial&phrase=X28126101* To search the ITN Archive collection on Getty Images, follow the link below: https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/footage/itn 🎥 Subscribe to our YouTube channel (tap the bell icon and stay up to date with all the latest ITN Archive videos!) - https://www.youtube.com/@ITNArchive 🎥 Follow us on Twitter - https://twitter.com/ITNArchive 🎥 Like us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ITNArchiveITNP 🎥 Check out our TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@itnarchive1955
