Swiss frontier post only manned during the day


What I found rather unusual was that towards the beginning of the film, when they were stopping near to the Swiss frontier. Once the guard came off duty in the evening, the crossing on the German side seemed to be unmanned. Did they not think that fugitives might try and escape during the night?
