A small part of the German population, mostly technicians for the water supply companies, were retained and used for compulsory labour; they were allowed to emigrate to Germany in the 1950s.
Väike osa Saksa rahvastikust, peamiselt tehnilised töötajad veevarustusfirmades, jäeti ja kasutati sunnitööl; nad võisid 1950. aastatel Saksamaale rännata.
