Tricking the Border Guards:
When East German border guards realized people were crossing the Berlin Wall by hiding in automobiles, they stepped up their vehicle inspection efforts.
Determined escapees thought of new ways to conceal themselves. Some hid on top of the car -- in hollowed out luggage, between surf boards, or inside stereo speakers strapped to the roof.
The Isetta car looked too small to hide in, but a person could squeeze in by removing the heater and battery. |
