George Beck: February 18, 1945
Camp is upside down once again we’re prepared to move everybody panicking. Geneva wants us moving to a safer area, the question is “Can the Germans provide transport for us sick men and can we get out by rail? The Russians are defiantly pushing in this area and it appears they capturing most of the railway junctions. It is just as dangerous outside as it is staying here.
—George Beck,1st Battalion The Duke of Wellington's Regiment, prisoner of war (diary)
