Flucht aus Ostpreußen 1945 Als Millionen ihre Heimat verloren

In January 1945, the largest refugee catastrophe in German history began. When the Red Army reached East Prussia, over two million people fled westward in freezing temperatures. In this video, we tell the harrowing story of the flight from East Prussia: from the first warning signs in the autumn of 1944, through the fateful delay of the evacuation, to the dramatic crossings of the frozen Vistula Lagoon and the desperate rescue operations across the Baltic Sea. We present authentic eyewitness accounts, explain the historical context, and commemorate the people who lost their lives in this tragedy or had to leave their homes forever. This story must not be forgotten. Does your family also have roots in East Prussia or the former German eastern territories?
