HISTORICAL NOTES
The Dutch soldiers are tired from the long voyage east and all the new impressions during the trip. They do not have the faintest idea about the situation at the front. Even the German leadership sees that another marchwould be too much for the fresh troops. But the Dutch volunteers are needed right at that moment, because of the Soviet attack in the direction of Jeglino. On 2 February the leadership organises a few motorcycles and some trucks. The journey through the snowfilled country is very slow and tedious. The distance between the vehicles becomes ever larger. The young and inexperienced soldiers do not care. It seems that the cold is their only enemy. Until they they are near Gusi. All at once gun and mortarfire is heard.
