East Berlin escape through tunnel prompts West Berlin report
A Nachtdepesche report claims a sizeable group of East Berliners escaped to West Berlin via a tunnel last weekend, while a woman named Erna Kelm died attempting to cross the Havel River. West Berlin officials did not confirm the account and warned details may aid East German police. An earlier blast near Potsdamer Platz ripped an 8 by 8 inch gap in the wall, and police found a unexploded bottle of explosive substance. A 54-year-old woman’s body was later found floating on the Havel near Nikolskes, West Berlin.
