The Soviets took the town and things started going from bad to worse.

She prayed for relief, and it came. The commander of the SS troops decided they owed it to the civilians to try and save them and despite terrible odds they pulled off a surprise counter attack and retook the town.

She said it was a strange sight the following morning, trucks, halftracks and tanks covered with civilians rushing westward.
