He doesn't know the trouble I've felt...
The reigning mayor of West Berlin, Dr. Otto Suhr seems to state to the so called "Volkapolizist" at Eastern check point of the Zonal border. The cause of this troubles is the district Steinstucken which belongs to Western Berlin but is separated from the town by a 1000 m long distance of East German territory. Steinstucken is to be compared with West Berlin in this proportion to the German Federal Republic because the Eastern Zone separates West Berlin from the Federal Republic, as the above mentioned 1000m Eastern territory separated Steinstucken from Western Berlin. Well, as mayor do, Dr. Suhr wanted to pay a visit to this district. But who could be astonished, Ivan said "Njet!" Dr. Suhr will invent by Allied Military Officials against this pressure.
