@Divirix1 They were Germans I know Memel had a mixed population of Germans and Lithuanians and was awarded to Lithuania after World war I and annexed by Hitler in 1939 I guess you could look at it either way but since it ended up in Lithuania and any ethnic Germans who lived there have long fled so there was never really any missunderstanding It's Klapeda now and has been since what 1921? except for 1939-1945

@elamite66 no withdrawl from Memel, but terrible withdrawl from east prussia, Konigsberg and other cities of east prussia, two slavics- polish and russian did that, but lithuanians helped them, took germans children to their families, klaipeda (memel) was in lithuania in 1945 , read history gentelmen

[elamite66]

I had distant relatives in Memel who did not survive the withdrawl of Germans in 1945 in the face of the Red Army I know of one distant relative no longer living who managed to get on a German ship and get to the west (what became East Germany) but managed to get out through West Berlin and eventually to the USA he had lost an arm in an industrial accident and so was not conscripted into Hitler's army who he never supported All we have is a few faded black and white photos from about 1900-1945
