The wall was originally meant to act as a physical barrier that prevented East Germans from escaping to West Germany

Explanation:

The Berlin Wall built was built on 13th August 1961. It was 87 miles long.

The Berlin wall was originally meant to act as a physical barrier that prevented East Germans from escaping to West Germany.

The wall was a surprise because according to Walter, no one had the intention of constructing a wall in June but in August a wall had been erected.
