From the diary of a doctor from April 1945 to March 1948. Hans Deichelmann worked as a doctor in Königsberg and remained in the old capital of the province of East Prussia even after the city was surrounded by the Red Army in spring 1945. Here he wrote his diary, which describes the suffering and death of the inhabitants who remained behind, their struggle for survival, the daily terror of the Soviet occupying troops and the wait for the longed-for departure. The reader experiences with inner shock how a German city and its culture were destroyed forever in just a few years. Of the more than 100,000 people who were still in Königsberg when the city was conquered by Russian troops, only 25,000 survived the three years of tyranny, starvation and epidemics until March 1948.
