In the beginning of 1944 the breakdown of the Eastern front began. The constant increase of material superiority of the enemy's coalition could be compensated no longer. Wrong tactical decisions of the German command,led relatively fast to the collapse of the 'Mittelabschnittes''. Already at the end of the same year the Red Army stood on the Eastern border of the Reich and in October 1944, sporadically attacked German border places in East Prussia. The mass murder of villagers from Nemmersdorf became an example of Soviet attrocities. Even if the village was freed a few days later again, by the German troops, the mass murder and the mass rapes of the villagers could not have been prevented. While the German
soldiers tried to detain the attacking Soviets, millions of East Germans fled to the East Prussian border to start their escape westwards.
