LinksThurs. | Aug, 12, 2021Today's links from JFK Boards are here:Acquilla Clemons | Letter to Rankin Mexico City CIA station's surveillance photo's of Lee Harvey Oswald Berlin Wall Goes Up: August 12, 1961 Sixty Years On | Aug. 12, 1961
"Walter Ulbricht, leader of East Germany, signed an order authorizing closure of the border with West Germany.[38] Erich Honecker, SED Politburo member in charge of security matters, then signed the work order for barbed wire to be placed between East Germany and the perimeter of West Berlin and the corridors to West Germany, as referred to in his May 14, 1992 indictment, in absentia by a unified Germany. A record 2,662 East Germans escaped into West Berlin on the last full day before the border was closed, while another 1,400 who had spent the night in West Berlin declined to return.
Among the group of defectors crossing into West Berlin were Soviet KGB assassin Bogdan Stashinsky and his wife Inge, who entered a police station hours before the border was sealed and requested that he be allowed to meet with American officials. Stashinsky told the CIA that he had been trained to use a device that sprayed hydrogen cyanide gas, and that, when sprayed directly into the faces of his victims, the poison would cause immediate death similar to that of a heart attack. Stashinsky used the "gas gun" to kill Ukrainian nationalists Lev Rebet and Stepan Bandera." [wiki]
