The whole border area was on the territory of East Berlin/East Germany. The border between East and West Berlin was after the last Wall. This last Wall is known as the Berlin Wall. However, the Berlin Wall was a complex system of walls, fences, watchtowers and barrieres The area between the Backland Wall (3) and the Last Wall (11) was the so-called death strip.
The document is an original document of the East German border troops.
I only added the numbers
and West/East Berlin into the document.
Thanks to Hagen Koch for the copy of the this document.
