After having set off from Stalag Luft XIIID near Nuremburg on April 12th, a large group of marchers arrived at Stalag Luft VIIA in Moosburg, 35 km outside of Munich.  This group likely included Gerard Kelleher and David Yemen.

Arriving at Stalag Luft VIIA, the marchers joined thousands of others POWs evacuated from camps throughout Germany and German-occupied territory.  The camp, built to hold 14,000 prisoners, was now bursting at the seams with a population of 130,000.
