I gave up my job and Irmgard and I flew to Berlin. We sneaked into the Russian sector. but were soon discovered and returned across the border. We needed a Russian visa. we were told. When we asked how we should get one. we were told that someone had to vouch for us with the Russians. After many months of exasperated attempts to talk Russian and East German agencies into letting us enter the Soviet Zone to see our children. we finally stumbled on our new strategy. We would proceed to Nassenheide as refugees from capitalism. and work from within. It was a desperate plan but the only one which seemed logical. Schroeder was delighted to hear about our conversion. even though he remained suspicious.
