Life
Reinhold Dahms was a bricklayer and lived in Finowfurt . In May 1965 he was called up to serve with the border troops. On New Year's Eve 1965/66 he was deployed with a post leader on the border with the FRG. After midnight, Dahms suggested to the guard leader that they flee together. He apparently agreed, but tried to notify his company via the border network. Dahms snatched the receiver from his hand, overcame a moat, and ran towards the last border fence when the guard leader began to shoot. Dahms was fatally hit.
