Altough the GDR is closed for Western newsmedia, footage of the events make it to the outside world. The footage was first shown on the "Heute-Journal" on ZDF and later on other West-German channels.

October 11th 1989: West-Germany formally sends a note of protest to the commanders of the Western Allies to ensure the safety of all Germans.
