Within a year, he was promoted to corporal, won the St. George's Cross, and was wounded...
...repeated his threat to sign a World War II peace treaty with East Germany, thus "abolishing" Western occupation rights in Berlin. "Some say that the Western powers will try to force their way into Berlin," he added.
