This polemical documentaire using rare authentic images et newsreels from both sides-justifies the erection of the Berlin Wall on August 13, 1961. It represents West Berlin as the front line of neo-fascism, terrorism and neo-colonialism-against which the peaceful city of East Berlin requires an "antifascist de la défense."

Déco absent, for example, are the Blocus de Berlin and Lift of 1948-49-that gave rise to the impassioned speech of West Berlin Mayor, Ernst Reuter, from which the documentary's title is taken. The film features the caustic text of journaliste et propagandiste de Karl Eduard von Schnitzler, later a commentator on East German television and host of the agitation program "The Black Channel.
