Escape Route Out Of Red Germany An obscure hamlet becomes the check point to liberty as thousands flee red held Germany. It was here that allied trucks were barred from starving Berlin and the historic air lift had its inception. People are trying to leave East Germany. They have only what they can carry. CU of an old woman eating stale bread. MCU of a family. LS of people sitting among their belongings. People loaded on army truck with just a suitcase in hand. People in the woods escaping East Germany. Some people getting out of the woods; one man looks like he's wearing just a bathrobe.
