Sturm or Prison Break German

Mos_art have published a great story about how twenty years ago organized the escape of one of the most protected of the German prisons. Read it, very funny. It's amazing that this story is not yet filmed.

April 4, 1993 on the main street, Landraf Philippe-Strasse, at the only traffic light metering ziegenhain triaxial armored vehicle of the Bundeswehr "Fuchs", patiently waiting for the green signal. Standing behind him wincing burger - dirt clods fell on pure asphalt and foul exhaust 300-horsepower diesel engine mersedesovskogo poisoned air. What you need is the Bundeswehr, because any military facility in town? Is there is a waste of the state of fuel for the trip to the store? Do not tell the police? Burgess has reached into his pocket for a cell, then I remembered what the yard year and calmed down a bit.
But not for long.
At the entrance to the armored car Paradenplatts flashing turn signals. Is he an idiot? Immediately solid!

BTR stopped, turned his nose to the prison complex, the driver straightened out exactly on the axis of the gate and hit the gas. With a squeal of tires burning 18 tons of steel cut into the iron gate, tore them off their hinges in a cloud of dust and drove inside. From the gaping hole continued to be heard echoing sound of blows enraged armored cars and the roar of its engine.
Call the police were stupid as to call an ambulance to the operating room.



Like any decent prison, JVA1 area zoned into compartments (residential, industrial, guest, recreational, administrative, etc.), so the "Fuchs" continued to batter the internal walls, squeezing them, creeping into the whole barbed and signal wire, aiming for one goal led him.

Estimated road tanker Liberator.



Behind the wheel sat BTR 33-year-old mechanical engineer Hans-Joachim Horn. Security clearly see his sweaty face through the large windshield, but only pistol bullets ricocheted from the transparent armor. Then Horn had enough of it, and he lowered broneschitok. In the recreation area, which drove an armored car, promyav metal fence was nine. One separated from a group of prisoners, waved them - "as long as the guys" - and dropped into a side door ajar for a moment the driver.
In the same way, "Fuchs" got to the square, neatly parked cars toured the city police and rushed to withdraw from the city, accompanied by an escort with flashing lights. The latter have already been fired, ensuring strength tissenovskoy armor and nazvanivali to the central police administration of Hesse, demanding to send a helicopter. Pilot was not there ...



Armored car on the highway gave gas, but then, realizing that it's not off, slowly began to roll, as if looking for something around. Finally, he saw a ravine with melt water, happily dived there, leaving the cops out of work, and driving on the road half a kilometer, disappeared behind one of the Hessian Hills.

Passenger was 52-year-old Lothar Luft, who is serving a life sentence for a triple murder in 1986.
Our Vozdushok, in preparation for the impending World Cup in Mexico, where the national team Beckenbauer left in the rank of favorites, sawed his wife, mother in law, then, that no one was hurt, and his mistress. Departing the disproportionate severity of the offense punishable by buttsbahovskoy prison, he met with the mountain, which, according to the latter, "replaced his father." Horn served a small things and went out and transferred to a prison Luft ziegenhain, feature of the architecture that was the only way of communication with the city - through the gate, go right on the central square.

On the day of the escape of Horn came to the training ground equipment parked at Marburg, which climbed over the fence height of 2, 6 meters with terrible words "verboten" daunting almost all Germans, bite Bolt lock the doors and start the engine. On the ground there was no one, no one armored personnel carrier was not enough as the headquarters did not call the police and asked to pick up abandoned at the Frankfurt property.



As recalled Horn: "This armored vehicle was perfect for my purpose, easier to manage my" Golf "and squeezed a hundred on the highway»



The story ended in favor of the cops. Both proderzateley caught three months later, Luft took in France, in Alsace, and gave the German justice. Clotaire-baboboytsa tighten stronger is no longer possible, and the mountain was three years for theft and damage to property. From the fine for speeding was able to fight back.

Today, Luft had died in a prison hospice, and Horn since behaves well no longer gets in the police reports.
Gates strengthened, but the administration has strayed from the criticism of the public are advised that no prison can not stand against the German Panzerwaffe.

In August 2012 pathetic imitators tried to ram the gate from the inside, using for this purpose vilopogruzchik to which working in the comfort of German convicts have free access. Also ragged holes through which not prosunesh and hand, other consequences of this trick (or rather, nevyhodka) had.
