Written in Nikolajew on 21 January 1919 by the private R. Jäckel, his unit arrived on 6.12.1918 with the steamer "Dotsch" from Sevastopol Nikolayev. The repatriation of the German troops was initially carried out only by rail. From 20.12.1918 the rail transport had become impossible and thousands of soldiers were stuck.
