Dad drove all night, slept the next day, and drove all night again. He believed that very few people would be on the roads at night. Few if any German citizens had gas of any kind. The Russian army had gas, but the army wouldn't be out at night wasting fuel, because the war was over. So, he drove at night. He didn't travel very fast either. He said our car couldn't travel very fast because we were pulling a heavily loaded trailer. We were able to travel only thirty or thirty-five miles per hour.
