Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on March 28, 1942)

Happy Birthday, Conrad Schumann! Here's to the man whose legendary leap over the Berlin Wall made pole vaulting look like child's play. Your daring jump didn't just defy gravity—it defied oppression and became an iconic symbol of freedom that still inspires us today.

From soldier in East Germany to global icon of courage, your spontaneous decision turned you into history's favorite wall jumper overnight. While most people celebrate birthdays by blowing out candles, we imagine you're probably leaping gracefully over cakes instead!

Cheers to another year celebrating your timeless bravery—may your legacy continue soaring higher than any wall ever built!
