"Elephant breaks free from German monorail, 1950. On 21 July 1950, in town of Wuppertal, Germany, an elephant called Tuffi, jumped off the local monorail, and the photographer was lucky to get the shot. The elephant has survived the fall, due to the low height and the water below, and lived for next 40 years."
So. Many. Questions.
There was a mono-rail in 1950s Germany?
How does this tie into the Cold War?
Why the FUCK was there an elephant on a monorail?
Was this just a weird escape from East Germany, a couple of people in an elephant costume? Except for the fact that the Berlin Wall doesn't exist in 1950.
