Peter Fechter was an 18-year-old refugee shot by East German border guards while attempting to escape over the Berlin Wall into West Berlin. Born on January 14, 1944, in East Berlin, Fechter tried to flee with a colleague on August 17, 1962, shortly after the Wall's construction. He was wounded and left to bleed out as he lay on the ground, despite efforts from West Berlin police to assist him. An hour later, he died from his injuries. His death became a symbol of the tragic consequences of the division.
