People ran from the Bolshevik terror and likely repressions and additionally the refugee flow was due to the approaching frontline and warfare. Many Latvian people were coercively evacuated by the Nazi occupation authorities.

At the beginning of 1945 there were 171 000 residents of Latvia in the German Reich.'
