The Most Genius Escape to West Berlin EVER

Описание: In 1963 East Berlin, an electrician named Wolfgang used his access to a Stasi officer’s home to dig a hidden tunnel, steal blank identity documents, and plan an escape timed to the Leipzig Trade Fair—when security briefly relaxed. This video breaks down how the tunnel was built, how the documents were taken, and how two men attempted to disappear using the state’s own intelligence system. Then it turns to the moment everything unraveled: a confrontation, a body left underground, and a split-second decision that determined who would escape to the West and who would die in an East German prison. The ending traces the aftermath—one life erased from the records, one file sealed until the fall of the Berlin Wall, and a single object that revealed the real cost of survival.
