The mousetrap

Die Mausefalle
The young Templer internees called the camp's entry gate "the mousetrap". When they entered the camp for the first time the main gate behind them was closed before the second entry gate could be opened. They felt they were caught in a trap.

Die jungen Templer in Gefangenschaft nannten das Eingangstor am Lager die Mausefalle. Als sie das Lager zum ersten Mal betraten, schloss sich das erste Tor hinter ihnen, bevor das zweite Tor sich öffnete. Sie kamen sich wie in einer Falle vor.
