East German Exodus Surges to West Largest Since 1956
About 1,400 East Germans fled to the West over the weekend, mainly via the Hungary Austria border, making the weekend exodus the largest since the 1956 uprising. Austrian officials report 980 crossed illegally into Austria from Hungary and a border gate opening boosted the flow. West German officials call for reforms in East Germany while political opponents urge similar steps. More than 10,000 East Germans have reached West Germany in August, per Manfred Kersten of Giessen resettlement camp.
