Through this 40-meter-long concrete tube once Stasi employees were clandestinely rooted through the inner-German border - sometimes for espionage to West Germany, sometimes for rapport to East Germany. If you are brave, today you can even crawl through it yourself.

This OGS - "Operative Border Lock" - is proven by credible reports from simple border guards and ex-border officers. Here the regular troops were "horrified" / exchanged for a few hours so that people could be smuggled

It's just a great experience on every tour, so you shouldn't forget what happened 30 years ago.
