- "...To escape death at the hands of the victorious Allies at the end of the war, he made a daring 1,500-mile flight in a small plane from Norway across Europe to Spain, crash landing on the beach at San Sebastian. Critically wounded, he somehow survived, and then built a new and successful life in exile in Spain, which granted him refuge. ..."'

But for travel from Pommern in 1945 to Denmark please see his book, but here is also info. :
"'...
Degrelle fought in Pommern with his 2,000 men from February (1945), he also fought in Kremzow, south of Stargard, and in March 1945 on the upper bridgehead in Altamm, near Stettin, where the Walloons suffered a great loss. The following battles took place in Schillersdorf, Bandelow and northwest of Prenzlau, so that they could march in Bad Segeber's direction over Schwerin. On April 20, 1945 Degrelle was promoted to SS-Standartenführer. On May 2 he met Himmler who was having peace negotiations in Malente and who promoted Degrelle to SS-Brigadeführer, there is even a comment on that in Degrelle's Soldbuch*.
He then received an order to support the fight against the Russians in Denmark with Walloons and Western allies. At the end of the war Degrelle went to Norway to escape from the British, where he managed to fly with HE 111 from Oslo over the whole West Europe until San Sebastian on the coast of Spain, where the aircraft crashed into the sea because it ran out of fuel. He was rescued from the sea and was seriously injured. He was taken to a Spanish hospital.
