Elsbeth Johanna Irma Baltuttis (Lithuanian Baltutis, September 28, 1920 – May 20, 1958) was a German singer and entertainer based in Leipzig, Germany. 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 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.
