A Red Army column enters the Mecklenburg town from the southwest. At first, this column is misinterpreted by Günter's father as British Tanks, that occupied Lübeck a day before (which was the 11th Armoured Division on May 2, 1945). According to this statement, this unnamed town must be near Lübeck, however, American and British forces in early May also reached the Cities of Wismar and Schwerin, which are located around 43.5 miles (70km) east of Lübeck. So this statement is historically incorrect since it would have been occupied by the Western allies at that time.
