[edit] Any others?

We read:

As people on the Western side shouted Komm rĂ¼ber! ("come over"), Leibing captured a photograph of Schumann jumping a barbed wire fence and making his escape.

It looks to me as if Leibing captured a photograph of a gentleman using a fairly large camera to photograph Schumann jumping that fence. If I'm right, then it may well be unique as a photograph of the photographing of this event. I wonder how many other photos there are of Schumann jumping the fence. -- Hoary (talk) 11:28, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
