In postwar Germany border communities across the 500 mile divide thrive on smuggling. Trail leaders charge up to 10 marks to guide illegal travelers through hidden paths at night, earning 100 marks or more per trip. Since wartime, interzonal travel rules have shifted, with Russians tightening Westward access while Americans and British ease permits. Police reported over a million crossers legally or illegally in 1948, with many allowed to continue after screening as relatives or political refugees.
