	Erich Honecker - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Erich Honecker (25 August 1912–29 May 1994) was a German Communist politician who led East Germany (German Democratic Republic) from 1971 until 1989.
		After the GDR was abolished, Honecker initially remained in a Soviet military hospital near Berlin before he fled to Moscow, trying to avoid prosecution over Cold War crimes, specifically the 192 deaths of those trying to escape over the Berlin Wall, and high treason.
		However, when he did come to trial in 1993, Honecker was released due to ill health and moved to Chile where he died in exile of liver cancer in Santiago some months later, in May 1994.

	Guardian \| Faced with a morale-sapping exodus, East German leader Erich Honecker could only talk of past glories
		Erich Honecker steps down an angry and disappointed old man. The Socialism 'in GDR colours' for which he had fought so strenuously, fusing social and economic policies towards a common end, had largely succeeded.
		Erich Honecker's biggest fault at the end was that, like Walter Ulbricht who preceded him, and like Janos Kadar, who was elbowed out in Hungary early last year, he outstayed his welcome.
		When Gorbachev stood next to Honecker on the viewing stand for the great anniversary military parade, he waved occasionally to the passing troops and looked bored, sometimes to the point of drubbing his fingers in apparent impatience on the railing in front of him.

		Given the deplorable condition of health care in the Soviet Union, it is laughable that Honecker left his German hospital voluntarily to seek treatment in the Soviet Union for what are reportedly acute heart and kidney ailments.
		His former subjects were beginning to press the government in Bonn to bring Honecker to trial on charges of ordering border guards to shoot-to-kill their countrymen attempting to flee the tyrannical East German regime.
		Accordingly, the real test of Germany's seriousness about the kidnapping of Erich Honecker is not to be found in the vehemence of the Kohl government's protests after the fact.
