Soviet forces halt U.S. convoy on Berlin autobahn amid protests
Heavily armed Soviet troops stopped a U.S. Army convoy for three hours on the Berlin autobahn in a fourth day of harassment. MIGs woke West Berlin with sonic booms as fighters orbited and endangered airliners. Allies lodged protests, accusing Moscow of violating postwar access treaties while East German Soviet maneuvers were cited as reason. The halted convoy, part of a frequent demonstration of access rights, prompted no relief despite the U.S. protest led by Sgt. Robert C. Koptis of Mantua Ohio.
