Because the research is more complicated I am still at the beginning.
My father-in-law's parents lived in Koenigsberg. In 1944 his father who was at the army and stationed in Koenigsberg sent away his wife and his two little sons. They travelled west pretending to go on vacation. After staying on the island of Ruegen they moved further west and finally came to Celle, a small town in Niedersachsen.
My husband's grandfather was missed since the last battle in Koenigsberg. He probably died there or later in a Russian prisoner's camp. The family never heard of him again.
