"How do you double a Trabant's value? - add a full tank." Just one of the jokes that have come to symbolise most people's views of the Sachsenring Trabant, but the true history is far, far different.

In this documentary, we look at how integral the Berlin Wall's creation and fall was to the success and ultimate demise of the Trabant autmobile.
