It is the boarder that separates Europe into East and West at the End of the Second World War.  The East represented Communist countries while the West represents democratic countries.  It is fortified to keep the territories within under Communist control.

most of the knowledge we have of the conflict comes from roman-jewish scholar titus flavius josephus, who first fought in the revolt against the romans, but was then kept by future emperor vespasian as a slave and interpreter.
