Zo579. A picture of Germans in flight in East Prussia from Wikipedia.
My mother and us 3 small children, youngest sister 3 months old, oldest sister 1 year 9 months and me 2 years and 10 months were able to flee from the Red Army on the 30th Jan 1945.
A train came into Tempel, offloaded Volkssturm troops, and perhaps half of the village families decided to flee with the train, all the French POWs, working on the farms, also went. Then in the summer the remaining Germans were driven out on foot and with what they could carry.
We were taking in by my mother’s best friend’s family farm in Lower Saxony (home of a British King).
