And the Eastern Germans they were so glad about their "liberation" that the Soviet govt had to build a wall to keep people from running away from this GLORIOUS "democratic" state. Even shot people who wanted to exercise their right to leave.

For someone who's German, you seem to be unaware of the basic fact that the East and West German border was well outside Berlin, and that the Berlin Wall was a physical border encircling West Berlin, given West Berlin was part of a hostile nation at the time.

Hard borders exist between nations. Try running the border between Pakistan and India and you'll also get shot, because surprise surprise, when there's tension between nations, there tends to be increased tension at the border, too.

Fucking braindead.
