That's how the Berlin wall went down. There had been months of peaceful candle lit protests. Chants included we are the people, we are one people . . .
The guards did not shoot them. That is the key. Finally after decades, they refused to shoot their own people.
The mood in Germany is very very tense. There a big protests there too every Sunday, all unreported. it's been like this for months and the protests keep getting bigger and bigger. Last Sunday German police were beating elderly women and teens, there were horrifying videos circulating, and the Germans are pissed. Many older East German are now saying that this summer feels exactly like the summer of 1989 before the wall came down.

The Soviets obviously did not intervene militarily, but the DDR had its own army and Polizei.
