Synopsis

In 1983, then-US Vice President George H.W. Bush had just been in West Berlin and spoke in London about his first visit to the Berlin Wall. He went on to describe another German wall he saw after Berlin: "if anything, that wall was an even greater obscenity than its eponym to the north."

The story of that wall is a fascinating and valuable slice of the history of post-war Europe. That wall had gone up nearly two hundred miles southwest of Berlin at the edge of divided Germany, in the tiny, remote farming village of Mödlareuth. For nearly half the twentieth century, the Iron Curtain divided Mödlareuth in two. In this little valley surrounded by forests and fields, the villagers of Mödlareuth found themselves on the literal front-line of the Cold War.
