| Description: | News in Brief: Germans Commemorate Anti-red Uprising. West Berlin and all West Germany join in observances commemorating the 1953 anti-red uprisings in East Germany. In Berlin, Mayor Willy Brandt leads solemn wreath-laying ceremonies. Library films show the day of desperate and gallant revolt when civilian workers fought Communist army tanks and guns. Wreaths and graves. Woman puts flower by gravestone. Men carry and lay wreaths in the cemetery, large crowd looking on. Willy Brandt. Flashback scenes: Crowds in the streets burn a flag, other items (rather large fire). Tanks rumble through the streets; people duck, crowds run away. | |
