My life can be measured in hours, I serve by being devoured. Thin, I am quick Fat, I am slow Wind is my foe

But when he finally reaches the border between Germany and Poland, there is a huge river, with only one bridge. The bridge is under nazi control. If you are a Jew caught leaving Germany you are instantly killed. If you are coming from Poland and you have no papers, you are sent back to Poland.
