At any point did you fear being repatriated back to the USSR? Nikolai Tolstoy wrote a book called The Secret Betrayal that chronicles:

the fate of Soviet people who had been under German control during World War II and at its end fallen into the hands of the Western Allies. According to the secret Moscow agreement from 1944 that was confirmed at the 1945 Yalta conference, all Soviet citizens were to be repatriated without choice—a death sentence for many by execution or work in a forced-labor camp.

How did you escape this fate?
