How was the Berlin wall build and what machines were used?

I need to write a bit on how new technology affected the construction of the Berlin Wall, but I can't find anythingSo I'm going to write how new technology has had little/no effectSo far I know that it was built by hand with bricks and cement, and that bricks were delivered by truck.

Answer:

initially it was barbed wire fenceStreets were bricked closed laterThen concrete slabs were brought in by truck and erected with small cranesThe wall was improved over time and became 2 walls with watch towers, mine fields, motion detectors, infrared cameras etc.
