The really devious part of his service, however, is that the people whom he agrees to help across never reaches the west, seeing as his business partner, German intelligence man Colonel Batz, always has soldiers ready and waiting to arrest the escapees on the other side. Over the years, Gerstner and Batz have made a hefty sum of money on their business, and put hundreds of men, women and children in prison or to the soldier's guns. In order to increase the hostile atmosphere between East and West Germany, so that The Berlin Wall can stay up and their business further thrive, Gerstner and Batz have also recently expanded their operation into kidnapping. They hope that their abduction of Ilse Bruck, and the blackmailing of her father, a key West German trade negotiator, will impede any friendly talks between the East and West, and ultimately lead to The Berlin Wall remaining in its place for a long time yet to come.
