The date on which the Wall fell is considered to have been 9 November 1989, but the Wall in its entirety was not torn down immediately. Starting that evening and in the days and weeks that followed, people came to the wall with various tools to chip off souvenirs, demolishing lengthy parts of it in the process and creating several unofficial border crossings. These people were nicknamed "Mauerspechte" (wall woodpeckers).

And 25 years later some people pretend that the reason the wall fell is because Ronald Reagan said it should.........
I guess when you don't have any real accomplishments, your rabid supporters are desperate to credit you with anything.
