Where does it lead? I'm not brave enough

The Germany of Asia
Just recently my country exchanged land with a neighbouring country to adjust for the changes of water, each giving and gaining the same amount of land. When water marks the border it's much easier to know when you're crossing it.
Edit: looked it up: in march we (Austria) traded 239 m² with Liechtenstein
Also great that the source is being listed, proving that it is not an AI generated image
Why? Apart from such cases being rare, everyone gets a half island
Ice too. Glaciers are flowing.
I know, but they belong to VW and at least back then used Audi engines (which also belongs to VW)
After like... 1944? they also conscripted people to the SS
I am just stating what my grandfather told me, and not defending the Nazis in any way!
After ww2 ended, my grandfather jumped down from the train that was supposed to bring him to a gulag (he was a soldier (vehicle driver) in ww2, just like all other German males at that time) with six others and walked 800 000 km home over many nights (at daytime they'd be seen and captured to be brought to a gulag, which basically equalled death), before dawn broke they always went to a farm and asked if they could hide there for the day (the farmers were very friendly despite having been enemies not long ago (enemies in wars usually exist on a political level, but not on a personal one), most didn't reject them and let them sleep, usually also gave them something to eat and if they were lucky something to take with them for the next night).
He was the only one who arrived back home, all others either were captured or died.
There he went to the American zone since he had heard his chances for survival were best there. They threw him into a pit (went a few meters down, he broke his arm from falling down), gave him some stray, water and bread (apart from the bread basically like many animals are kept). After eight years (including frequent physical and psychological torture (= for example telling him to lay off all clothes and stand at a wall, pointing a gun at him telling him it's time to die like once per month)) he was so ill that they expected him to die within a few days so they set him free so he could visit his wife and children one last time.
He recovered and lived to become 90 years old.
Just because one side was very bad it doesn't mean the other sides were angels. I'm not defending the Nazis in any way, but I'm sure there were many cases such as his. And he didn't do anything special as far as I know, didn't have a high rank or anything, he just was a normal vehicle driver in his country's army.
Edit: more examples:
Older German cars also are great. My Skoda from ~2000 is still going strong (never had any issues) and I also see a lot of other older VW/Skoda around (also Audi, Mercedes and BMW but those are more expensive). Don't know what it's like today but at that time at least Skodas got the exact same engines as Audis, just not as beautiful bodies.
Can't comment on modern German cars, they haven't passed the test of time yet.
Consider a motorcycle instead of a backup car ;)
I guess they might be appropriate for some roads (in poor or very rural countries)
But not here
