Historic Encounters Between the Lines

Our Price: $14.98

Between the Lines: Escape from East Berlin

The Berlin Wall - in place from 1961 to 1989 - set the people of Germany against each other, figuratively and literally. This barrier took the lives of countless East German soldiers standing guard and their countrymen trying to escape to the West. Director Dirk Simon tells the true story of two border guards: Ulrich Steinhauer and Egon Bunge. Both had been drafted in the East German army and posted on the Berlin Wall to guard the East-West border from people trying to cross illegally.

On November 4th, 1980, during patrol, Bunge escaped into West Berlin and in the process shot his comrade and official partner, Corporal Steinhaurer. Was it murder or an act of self-defense? Filmmaker Simon portrays the personal turmoil and emotions of the two men; Stenhauer, who life was cut short, and Bunge, whose remaining years were filled with the horrid guilt of both killer and survivor of a brutal political regime.
