This source covers the event of the murder of Peter Goring. On May 23, 1962, an East Berlin soldier (Peter Goring) was murdered as a young fourteen-year-old boy made an escape attempt to cross into West Berlin. The young boy that attempted the escape was caught leading to a shootout between the Eastern guards and Western police forces. This boy escaped with major injuries, but with the conflict that arose, Peter Goring was killed. Although this was on the East’s side of the wall, they portrayed Goring as a hero that had been assassinated by those of the West.
