Czechs Free Two GIs Held as Suspected Spies
Two American soldiers, 1st Lt. Richard H. Dries of St. Albans New York and Pfc. George Pisk of Austin Texas, were released at a West German checkpoint after being imprisoned by Czechoslovakia since Sept. 17 on espionage charges. They were captured near Eslarn Bavaria during a border patrol mission, and charges claimed they photographed military installations. U.S. officials said the men were on a legitimate mission and were seized on West German soil. The pair, escorted by Czech border officers, crossed into West Germany where U.S. troops awaited with carbines. They were taken to Wieden then Nürnberg for a possible press conference.
