The Wire of Death ((オランダ語:Dodendraad)) was a lethal electric fence created by the German military to control the Dutch-Belgian frontier during the occupation of Belgium during the First World War. == Terminology == The name 'Wire of Death' is an English rendition of one of its popular Dutch names; ''Dodendraad'' which can be translated as either "Death wire" or "Wire of the dead". As the war continued and more and more victims fell to the electric fence it became known as simply ''De Draad'' meaning "The Wire". To the German authorities it was officially known as the ''Grenzhochspannungshindernis'' ("High Voltage Frontier Barrier"). Parallels have been made between the ''Death Wire'' and the later Iron Curtain.〔(dodendraad.org )〕
