Sidih https://sidih.si Pančur, Andrej Reka Sotla je še danes mejna reka med Republiko Slovenijo in Republiko Hrvaško. Od leta 1941 in do leta 1945 pa je bila mejna reka med nemškim rajhom in NDH. Konec leta 1941 so jo Nemci močno zastražili, obdali z žico in minskimi polji. Kljub temu pa se je preko nje kmalu tihotapilo. Najbolj iskano blago so bili sladkor, tobak, galica, sol, meso, mast, moka, jajca in tudi živina. Fotografija, ki je objavljena z dovoljenjem Boža Kolarja (hrani izvirnik), prikazuje menjavo blaga na Sotli v neposredni bližini Rogaške Slatine, verjetno poleti 1944. The Sotla river is still a border river between the Republic of Slovenia and the Republic of Croatia. However, between 1941 and 1945 this was the border river between the German Reich and the NDH. At the end of 1941, the Germans heavily guarded its banks and enclosed it with barbed wire and minefields. Nevertheless, smuggling soon emerged across the river. Most sought after commodities were sugar, tobacco, copperas, salt, meat, lard, flour, eggs, even livestock. The photograph shows the exchange of goods at Sotla river in the immediate vicinity of Rogaška Slatina, most likely in the summer of 1944.
