On The U.S.-Soviet Border In Germany.Constabulari troopers on road patrol stop to inspect peasants of the vicinity who are about to cross border, in spite of sign which says that road is closed for border traffic. People here have throughout ignored such prohibitions; the fact that they are crossing an international boundary line means nothing to them. Since it would require an immense force of men to stop them, U.S. constabulary practice is to reprimand them only and to keep watch for black marketers and the like. This is a point at Neustadt, on the border of Thuringia. August 14, 1948. (Photo by Eugene Kammerman, Camera Press).
