Eight angry Russian soldiers broke the two day blockade of the Russian repatriation mission in Frankfurt, drove to the Soviet zone, and forced the mission to leave the U S occupation area. In response, Soviet authorities ordered U S graves registration men out of the Soviet zone as a four man unit arrived in Berlin. A Russian officer escorted the convoy, and two additional Americans were in Berlin on holiday when the order was issued. Trucks carried the graves unit load.
