(III)Today, 20 years after the fall of Berlin Wall, Berlin's Cold War-era tunnel system has become one of the most popular attractions for tourists and locals alike. In 2008, more than 150,000 visitors explored the underbelly of the German capital, touring through the deserted tunnels that serve as yet another spine-chilling reminder of the city's tense and violent role in the 20th century. While some tunnels were just less than 100 feet long, others were up to 557 feet in length. Some were like small tubes, barely big enough to crawl through, while others were tall enough to stand up in. It took between three days and six months to dig the various constructions between October 1961 and April 1982. Altogether about 300 people managed to escape through the tunnels.    Most tunnels were dug from the West to the East, often by men who had already fled to the West and who were then trying to get the rest of their family out of East Germany. Hasso Herschel, who escaped to West Germany with a fake passport in 1961, dug several illegal tunnels underneath the wall, the first in September 1962. Its entrance was hidden in a house on the eastern side of the border, right across from the wall on the Bernauer Strasse. Twenty-nine people fled through that shaft, making it one of the most successful tunnel projects at the time. From the 1960s to the 1970s, Herschel helped dozens escape from the East to the West through the secret tunnels. "This was the best thing I did in my whole life," the 74-year-old retiree said recently.                                                  source: http://www.denverpost.com/travel/ci 13577014
