...until it tumbled down in November 1989, more than 190 East Germans were killed trying to escape. When Heinz Kessler, former Defense Minister of the now defunct communist regime, planned to flee to the Soviet Union last week, however, he was merely arrested, along with former Prime Minister Willi Stoph and two other ex-leaders, Fritz Streletz and Hans Albrecht...
