Police sent to break up the rioters joined them instead. The rioters broke into jails and released political prisoners. The riots soon involved an estimated 10% of the countries workers . </font></p>

The next day the protests spread across East Germany with more than a million on strike and demonstrations in 700 communities. Fearing revolution the government requested the aid of Soviet occupation troops and on the morning of the 18th tanks and soldiers were dispatched who dealt harshly with protesters. The result were an estimated 5-~800 deaths and a wave of arrests and jail sentences numbering over 10,000. After the uprising, the power of the Stasi was greatly increased so such an uprising could not happen again .</font></p>

The internal police, the Stasi, was to be made much stronger to prevent such a rebellion from happening again. Wilhelm Zaisser, head of the Stasi, was replaced by Erich Mielke .</font></dd>
