Answer:

I believe the best method to leave East Germany and escape to West Berlin would be through Hungary. During September 11, 1989, Hungary had supposedly torn a hole into the iron curtain by lifting the travel ban on Austria, which was a western democratic country. Thousands of citizens living in the Eastern Bloc had migrated to the west with this hole. If I were a citizen of East Germany, I would have taken advantage of this opportunity, and migrate to the West through Hungary.
