On April 15, the death march arrived at the Wolfsgrün train station, where the prisoners were loaded onto a freight train. The remaining prisoners and guards traveled on this train through Vogtland and Egertal to Aussig (Ústí nad Labem).

There, at the station, the train was attacked by the US Air Force. It is unclear how many prisoners died or escaped. The remaining prisoners were taken to Theresienstadt (Terezín) via the Leitmeritz (Litoměřice) subcamp, where 350 prisoners were registered out of 787 total.  The prisoners were then transferred to the Terezín ghetto, where they were liberated. (Titzmann 2024)

Subsequently, more bodies bearing prisoner numbers from Mülsen were discovered alongside the railroad line in Vogtland. Four escaped prisoners were seized in Werda, shot, and buried in the forest (see the exhumation protocol below). After the war, the bodies were exhumed and given a dignified burial. In May 1945, two bodies were exhumed in Muldenhammer, which can presumably be attributed to the Mülsen death march.

It is often impossible to identify the anonymous victims of death marches. Numerous death marches passed through the region in the last days of the war.

The train stopped in Muldenberg to refill its water supply. The four prisoners who were captured near Werda, murdered, and buried on the spot presumably escaped there. After the war, the Soviet occupying force searched for such graves, exhumed the bodies, and gave them a dignified burial. These exhumations were recorded, and, in some cases, the prisoners' numbers were noted. This is the case in Werda. 

Using the numbers she had written down, Christine Schmidt was able to research the names of the murdered prisoners in the Flossenbürg Memorial archives. Those buried in Werda are:

Nikolaj Paschkow, *12/12/.1918

Pawel Shdarow, *12/18/1918

Giovanni Marcatti, *08/29/1920

Anton Gabrieli, *10/05/1913
