    Fun fact about the Berlin Wall: there was a man who tricked the Soviet border guards every day and they never noticed. This man was a smuggler and every single day when he would ride his bike across the border he would have a bag filled with sand that he knew the guards would inspect. The guards would in fact inspect the suspicious bag but upon realizing the bag was filled with sand, they let him cross the border, never knowing that he was actually smuggling bicycles.

They escape but since my grandma was a little girl at the time she forgot her doll and her bigger brother went back. He returned with it and they walked around in a forest away from guards and spotlights. They accidentally fell into a river and it was already cold out. My grandma fell in and nearly got swept away but dad saved her. They went on to live on the other side with no house and no money. My grandma is still alive today.

    The Cold War is a fascinating and complex period in our history. It's a huge chunk of time filled with tense politics, proxy wars, alliances, and a constant fear of war. It's an interesting subject to explore, and OverSimplified does a spectacular job of tackling such a massive topic. OverSimplified's videos are always entertaining and educational, with plenty of humor and engaging imagery. This particular video goes into the background of the Cold War and tackles the various key events and the complex situation between the US and USSR.
