Spec. 4 Hans Puhl, 22, a migrant from East Weymouth Massachusetts, pulled a wounded East German refugee to safety during a 40 minute firefight between West Berlin police and East German border guards near the Berlin Wall. The refugee, Michael Meyer 21 from Fredersdorf near Ber tin, was shot five times and grazed by bullets but survived. West Berlin firefighters aided, as two locals cut wire and a rope enabled the crossing.
