Text sample:
It was as if they were all hovering in limbo. Not only were they travelling in the no-man’s land of a sealed train, on tracks that passed through nations and countries without ever being part of them, they were also in a state of mental limbo, unsure what to believe and what to hope for, clinging to images of the future which they could live with, trying to block out any pictures which might suggest that the train was taking them straight home to their deaths. They would remember the smiling, welcoming faces of their families and friends, and try to forget that the country they were returning to was still run by the Red Army, an army which considered them to be deserters, a country which considered them as traitors, not prisoners of war.
