When the train reached the Soviet sector check point of Schoenfeld in Berlin, East German police swarmed everywhere in and alongside the train. They pulled six teen-agers and an elderly woman off the train, herded them toward a group of 20 disconsolate East Germans presumably jerked off earlier trains. One girl with short blonde hair and a green raincoat dropped her bag and began to cry as she was taken off. As the train pulled away toward West Berlin, I watched a policeman pick up her bag, lead her sobbing into a green barracks office while a Soviet soldier watched impassively.
