    "Original caption: "Death Strip" Although he resembles a farmer sowing seed, this East German workman is sprinkling chemicals to kill weeds in the "death strip" along the Communist built wall in East Berlin. The strip was cleared to provide a field of fire for Communist border guards seeking to shoot down East Germans escaping to freedom in West Berlin. 63-4850"

    "In the early 1960s, the great LIFE photographer Paul Schutzer went to Berlin to chronicle the construction and the effect on everyday lives of the then-brand-new Berlin Wall. What he saw, and what he photographed, provides a chilling glimpse into an era both eerily familiar, and profoundly alien. Pictured: Shadowy silhouettes of seven West Berliners waving to their relatives on the other side of the Wall."
