How good is your knowledge of European geography and customs checkpoints?

Question

This is just a fun, hypothetical situation. Some friends of mine were talking about a WWII movie where some people had to escape the n***s, and hence evade border checkpoints.

Europe now has the "Schengen" territories, covering most of Europe. Here's the game: pretend it's wartime, and you have to get out of Schengen without running the risk of passport control, just like in a WWII movie. How would it be done? Example: would you try for Switzerland, or Turkey? Could you realistically drive to the edge of Schengen considering the whole area is supposed to be "borderless"?

Answer 1

Well many of the main southern European roads eventually lead to the non-Schengen countries of Croatia and Serbia.  Turkey would be an eventual destination to escape, but immediately I would head for Belarus or Ukraine.  These have minimal checkpoints and can then be easily trotted through to reach firther destinations such as Moscow or Turkey.  I would escape through Romania or any of the eastern countries south of Ukraine since the Schengen Agreement has them paritally implemented, and planned to fully implement later.
