In the vicinity there was a dam and the Elbe flooded. Soon they got into the current with the barge and were taken to the dam.In view of the danger, the Jgg. left the barricade.Jgg. Böttcher and Meier reached the shore through Schwinmen. This took place 30 - 40 m before the dam- eg. Ogurek was also able to swim, although he did not come up against the current, because it was very strong. Jg. Böttcher asked one of the Czechs to save the Yg. Ogurek. The Czechs did not do it, because the Getas existed to be aborted themselves. Jd. Ogurek disappeared euuiigs letter from the dam, after which he no longer appeared ti d ertrank He was then driven off to Neuchâtel - Lyssa. I saw this from the banks of the Elbe. I immediately went to the camp manager and told him that Jg. Ogureks drowned. gez. H.Holzath The Jg, who also saw it: gez, K.H. Reiss, 11 K. Kramer 11 Brach.
