Two generals must go to jail!
On September 16, 1993, the former Defense Minister of the GDR, Armeegeneral Heinz Kessler…
...and his former deputy, Generaloberst Fritz Streletz...
… sentenced to seven and a half or five and a half years in prison for manslaughter because of their responsibility for the order to shoot at the inner-German border.
The picture shows both on the day of the verdict in front of the courthouse at Berlin-Moabit...:
Kessler does not have to serve his sentence; In the spring of 1998 he was released from the Hakenfelde prison in Berlin on probation for health reasons.
Streletz was also released early from prison on October 25, 1997.
Both together will write a justification book (edition ost, ISBN: 9783360018250) after their release from prison...:
More than 300 people died during an attempt to escape at the inner-German border and the Berlin Wall.
