On this date in 1952, chemistry student Wolfgang Kaiser was guillotined at Dresden as a saboteur.

Back in the years before the Berlin Wall closed East Berlin the Communist half-city’s accessibility to its NATO-aligned western half constantly nettled the security state.

Our man Wolfgang Kaiser (English Wikipedia entry | German) lived in West Berlin but studied in East Berlin — or he did until he lost the spot when trying and failing to transfer to a West Berlin university.

That left Kaiser plenty of time on his hand to vent his political disaffection by working for the anti-communist resistance organization Kampfgruppe gegen Unmenschlichkeit — the “Combat Group Against Inhumanity”. When all was said and done, inhumanity got the best of its combat with Kaiser....

I read up on Dr. Beaurieux who witnessed a guillotine execution. Creepy.

Here is a link to Wolfgang Kaiser's wiki page - which (shockingly) has not been scrubbed by the left to remove all criticism of communism.

My mother is from East Berlin. People today cannot even begin to believe the sheer insanity and duplicity of life under the East German Stasi.

One would hear of the East German "news", listen to the West German news and try to sort it all out by comparing it to your daily life.

The wiki gives a good idea of life at that time.

BTW, Kaiser lived in West Berlin but went to college in East Berlin, which was not uncommon before the wall.
