Young man bleeds to death on the demarcation line

The minefield lies between the wire fences on the inner-German border to the GDR. On 25.11.1968 a young man bled to death in a minefield beyond the Bavarian villages of Wildenhein and Ebersdorf near Neustast/Coburg. After two mines detonated, the Bavarian border police heard calls for help such as "I am only 16 years old" and "don't you hear me, I must bleed to death". | usage worldwide
