Elfriede Taubenschlag

Elfriede Taubenschlag was a young German widow living in Berlin after World War II. Her husband was killed during a bombing raid at the end of the war. To make ends meet she took odd jobs. She took a job as a server at the Soviet Union's New Year's Eve celebration. When the German Freedom Front poisoned the party and killed several Soviet officers, Taubenschlag was detained as a possible suspect by Vladimir Bokov and Moisei Shteinberg.
