When one has a look at the map, then the trip on the 22.01.1945 from Hagenau to Löpen also went partly throug the district of Preußisch Holland, therefore not just through the district Mohrungen.

When I drew up this webpage and studied the maps, I was surprised to see that the area between the Nogat River and the Weichsel River belonged to Danzig. That was therefore the first time we were in the Danziger-Land, the second time was then the stay in Wiesenthal.
