One of six West Berliners who dug a 20-inch-wide tunnel under a border street to East Berlin crawls out sometime over the weekend of June 8–10, 1962.

Sixteen East Berliners, relatives of the diggers, came through the tunnel dragging an infant behind them in a washbasin. The tunnel was believed to have been discovered in early June 12, a few hours after the 17 reached the West.
