      East Germany was under Soviet control therefore, a communistic dictatorship after WWII and West Germany had been set up as a democracy, similar to our own.  The skilled professionals wanted to work in a democracy and East Germany was losing too many skilled manpower through the border.  So they built the wall to stop people from crossing over to opportunity.  I just returned from Berlin 2 days ago.
