Irma Baltuttis

Real name: Elsbeth Johanna Irma Baltuttis
Born: September 28, 1920
Died: May 20, 1958
Country: Germany
Comments: Singer and entertainer based in Leipzig. After some training in music during the Third Reich, her singing career took place entirely within the German Democratic Republic after the Soviet occupation of the East Zone. She was quite popular during her career as a "Schlager-Diva" (hit diva). Most of her recordings were originally released on the Amiga label accompanied by the Kurt Henkels Dance Orchestra. She died as a result of a fall from her apartment window in Leipzig. The fall was officially attributed to suicide, but doubts as to the veracity of this remained.
