Defectors from east germany were people who a. chose to spend their vacations in west germany or france. b. went to west germany to attend concerts or lectures. c. traveled to visit relatives who lived in western countries. d. fled their homes to move permanently to the west.

The correct answer is D.

After the Postdam Conference, Germany was divided in four occupation zones, the three Western ones were under the control of the Western allied powers and were unified under the name of Federal Republic of Germany, while the Eastern one pertained to the URSS and constituted the German Democratic Republic.

The communist regime that operated in East Germany imposed regulations on citizens which affected their economic, social and even personal behaviours and attitudes. This is why many people tried to become defectors, and to move permanently to West Germany.
