"Evacuation"

The phrase, "the evacuation of East Prussia" is misleading, a weasel-word phrase. The accurate phrase would be "the Soviet conquest of East Prussia." True, some residents of East Prussia were indeed evacuated, mostly by ship from Pillau (now Baltiysk), but they did not flee "during the evacuation" per se; they fled from the vengeful Red Army. Some were evacuated by sea, some fled in peasant carts or on foot, some stayed behind or were trapped. Many died.
