A West Berliner in his mid-forties and on welfare, Kabe, according to Robert's tale, jumps the Wall 15 times to the East. He uses a rubble heap and/or a VW bus as a stairway. He ignores the pleas of Western guards, drops, and is arrested by DDR police. Kabe wears out DDR interrogators who seek a motive and is sent for psychiatric evaluation in Büch.
