With regard to injuries and deaths, Adjutant Chef Mariotti of the French Mission was killed in a deliberate ramming set up by the Stasi in Halle on 22 Mar 84. Nick Nicholson of the US Mission was shot on 23 Mar 85. BRIXMIS did not suffer any deaths, but there were numerous incidents, including serious wounding from gunshots, over the years. BRIXMIS was the largest Mission, with 31 Soviet passes (ie 31 personnel could travel in the GDR), whilst the French only had 18 and the US 14. That did mean that BRX could tour with 3 personnel in each vehicle, which was much safer for lookout etc than the 2 that the US were obliged to use. The French used either 2 or 3, depending on the task. All 3 Missions had many rammings and attempted rammings by Soviet and East German military, but they, unless injury resulted, were looked on as a working hazard. Luckily, I don't think H&S applied in the GDR, and I don't remember anyone being tasked to write an H&S Risk Assessment!
