They are plunged deeper into the morass under the German occupation in Poland, Belarus. With the approach of the Red Army, they must flee and are taken by the Germans to Germany. While there, they endured local resentment, hunger, cold, and the devastating and frightening Allied bombings. After the war, they were moved from one refugee camp to another as displaced persons in the British Zone, all the while keeping a vigilant eye out for Soviet agents keen on repatriating them back to the Soviet Union where they faced certain death.
