On September 24, 1961, Heinz Vater fled to the west while a company fighting group was on duty on Bernauer Strasse. Here in Hamburg he defended his doctoral thesis, which had already been successfully accepted in the GDR but had not yet been defended, which was published in 1963 under the title The system of article forms in contemporary German .
