1974 240D Trunk Lock

Hello,
I am new to Mercedes and have bought a 1974 240D from a friend. I can't open the trunk with the only key available. The key will turns but the lock will not open the trunk. I have discovered a broken vacum line hose in the left rear door. Will the compromised vacum system prevent the trunk from opening?
Thanks

If the key has three positions, horizontal, vertical and a few degrees CCW, try turning the key fully CCW, hold it there and push in.

That's how my W114 280C and W116 450SEL work.
