    From Swinemünde to Kopenhagen

    I have some pics on one of them there is a description on the backside:
    "Überfahrt von Swinemünde nach Kopenhagen Mai 1945".

    Was this a normal "escape route"? Why not shipping direct to Germany?

    Greetings

    To nearest "safe" port?

    Swinemunde and other ports along the northern coast of Germany had been heavily bombed in 1945, if you travelled from Swinemunde (now Świnoujście in Poland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Świnoujście) the nearest safe place could have been Kopenhagen.

    If "may 1945" meant May 2 or 3, Kopenhagen was still under German control (the surrender was on may 4'th) and somewhat out of the way from approaching British and Soviet forces.
