Fantastic story, thank you for posting it.....
Stories like this about the valor and pereservance of these veterans brings tears to my eyes. They were truly amazing!
There are more stories of the plight of the prisoners from the camp in Sagan. A good book to read about their plight as they were moved by the Germans to escape the Russian 1945 January offensive is in John Toland's The Last 100 Days.....a book about the last 100 days of WWII in Europe.
