Part #7: Outer Fence
The outer fences were constructed in a number of phases, starting with the initial fortification of the border from May 1952.
This Photo is showing a "third-generation" fence, much more solidly constructed (1960s to the 1980s). The fence line was moved back to create an outer strip between the fence and the actual border. The barbed-wire fences were replaced with a barrier that was usually 3.2–4.0 metres (10–13 ft) high, like this.
The openings in the mesh were generally too small to provide finger-holds and were very sharp. The panels could not easily be pulled down, as they overlapped, and they could not be cut through with a bolt- or wire-cutter. Nor could they be tunnelled under easily, as the bottom segment of the fences was partially buried in the ground.
