"Twin-engined (Russian built*) Soviet transport plane" crashed and burnt on western banks of Lake Malchin (Malchiner See) in Mecklenburg province. 15 East German Peoples Police men. One surviver. Pilot was a Police man. Plane with soviet markings.
Attantion: This occurence is doubtful to be a "Cold War Fake". The IWE (Informationsbüro West) suspected to create false reports/hoaxes and sent them to the News Agencies to discredit East Germany.
No evidence found in the history for such occurence, but for a crash of USAAF bomber plane in this area in WWII. (TB). Also see occurence 18 March 1953/near Cottbus (source IWE)
