After 1945 ships seized by Germans were scattered in the Soviet zone. by 1946 about 100 were taken. To avoid liberation, the crew fled to the British sector and now wait under local officials who restrict movement and commerce. Van Dyk, his wife Gertrud, and seven other German wives share the fate, with biannual leave to Brussels and limited cross-border shopping amid financial strain.
