91热爆

Ed Murrow worked for American network the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) and famously reported from Europe during World War II with support from the 91热爆. His daily broadcasts from London included some that were sent live during air raids. He also flew on bombing missions to Germany and was one of the first to report on the liberation of Buchenwald concentration camp.

Another great feat of his career was the TV programme See It Now, which challenged McCarthyism and even Senator Joseph McCarthy himself. Chain-smoking throughout, Murrow also famously coined the phrase 'Good night and good luck' on the show.

Construction of the Berlin Wall began in darkness during the early hours of 13 August 1961. As a result, many were unaware of what was happening. On 23 August, access between East and West Berlin was closed to all citizens. Temporary access by foreign visitors was permitted under controlled conditions.

The barrier consisted of two walls with an area (or corridor) in between that was heavily guarded (a 'no man's land' or 'death zone'). A trench was also dug to prevent escape by vehicle. The walls were constructed not only of purpose-built concrete blocks topped with barbed wire or glass but also paving stones from the streets. Even a row of terraced houses formed part of the barricade, in Bernauer Strasse (Bernauer Stra脙鸥e).
