Talk:Stalag XIII-C

>>>Really?!
The article tells us: In March 1945 a large group of prisoners arrived in deplorable condition after marching the 500 miles (800 km) from Stalag VIII-D in severe winter conditions. Could that truly be so? Stalag VIII-D was at Tittmoning Castle, which, as the crow flies, is only 310 km from Hammelburg. Could the Germans really have been inefficient enough to take such a circuitous route that they added almost 500 km to it? Granted, they could probably not keep to a straight line given the geography along the way, but how could a 310 km trip be stretched out to 800 km? This seems absurd.
