Heinz Schmidt was a victim of the Berlin Wall, shot dead by East German border troops while swimming in a shipping canal. Born in Berlin in 1919, Schmidt faced mental health issues that led to unemployment and alcoholism. After his divorce in 1966, he lived in a homeless shelter. On August 29, 1966, while heavily intoxicated, he swam into the canal, where he was shot despite being warned by West Berlin police. He succumbed to his injuries later that day, sparking controversy and debates over border control and human rights.
