Framed Print of A Tunnel to Freedom from East Berlin
The tunnel which 28-year-old West Berliner Heinz Jercha and a tiny band of workmen built under the Communist wall was the scene of Jercha's gallant death. Jercha was gunned down by East Berlin Communist police as he was helping East Germans escape to freedom in West Berlin. It is reported that this modern Scarlet Pimpernel has aided more East Germans to flee from Communism than any other single man. Top photo shows how the tunnel of Heldelberger Strasse leads from the basement of a house in the East Berlin sector (right) under the wall to a West Berlin basement in the French sector (left). Bottom photo shows a man kneeling in front of the tunnel entrance in the Weat Berlin house. The entrance is now sealed by an iron grill. Jercha was cut down by Communist bullets ater he and a partner led one East German couple to freedom beyond the wall of shame. Jercha went back for other would-be-escapees but found Red guns instead.
