Talking about the Berlin Wall:-
They were not forced labour workers. There were permanent workers, but they actually employed casual labour every day from both sides of the wall. Two oppos of mine whilst on annual leave from the Navy, were tripping around West Germany and actually worked on the wall for 3 days around 1964/65 to get some extra money. They were paid daily and the contractors were paying better money than the Navy at the time. No, they didn’t have Naval permission to step into an Eastern Block country, but the Navy never found out and they all lived happily ever after.
