Enjoyed the mix of historical fact/explanations and personal stories. Read this while visiting Berlin and it really made everything come to life even more.
I was fascinated by the story of the tunnel and the very devoted diggers. There is mention of a film team and an awardwinning documentary ("The tunnel" from 1962), managed to find it online and watched after reading, making not only the places, but also the people very real.
