Where to?

Stasi prison July 17, 1986

That vehicle again.

This is definitively a transport.

No other prisoners however and that worries me.

Stasi Barkas prison van

There is one central place for political prisoners’ processing right before they send them across the border.

Kaßberg prison in Karl Marx Stadt, the processing takes 4-5 days.

The trip should take around 2 hours.

If the trip takes less than an hour I’ll be closer to home.

And that would be horrible news.

Back to Kästner jail?
