From 1948 - 1961, more than 3 million East German<br />
citizens travelled to the West through Berlin. This was<br />
one-fifth of the East German population and was<br />
mostly the young and well-educated. Many Eastern<br />
Germans crossed into the West each day to work for<br />
higher wages and did not contribute to the East economy,<br />
resulting in the Western Deutsche Mark being<br />
worth 4- 6 times more than the Eastern Deutsche Mark.
