April 10, 1945 - Kelleher and Yemen Arrive at Stalag Luft XIIID

With the Allied and Russian forces advancing into Germany, Dulag Luft, the transit camp for Allied airmen, began the evacuation of prisoners on March 20th.  The following week, on March 27th, a second group of prisoners, including Gerard Kelleher and David Yemen departed Dulag Luft for the 250 km march to Stalag Luft XIIID near Nuremburg.

This group of evacuees, including Kelleher and Yemen, arrived at the now-defunct Stalag Luft XIIID on or about April 10th after a 15-day journey.
