The Berlin Wall actually consisted of two walls the outer border wall and the inner or rear wall. The death strip was a sort of no-man's land that fell between these two walls which re-enforced the strength of the border. The death strip was between 50 - 100 meters wide and consisted of various traps, guard towers and obstacles in order to prevent people from crossing.
