Report

Hi Gerdan,

Does the report mean that the 2 foreign prisoners raped the German woman?

[Gerdan]

John

it is not told if they raped her or if she agreed. Fact is that these two foreign men are in the KZ Buchenwald because they had sex with a German woman.
There was a law in Germany that - even when the German woman agreed - foreign men (e. g. from Russia, Poland,...) had to be punished (KZ or even killed) when they had sex with her.

Thanks for the reply Gerdan. I understand now.

# 457

a short synopsis:

A letter to the mother of a soldier MIA in Rennes (France?) where he is burried/trapped with 157 other soldiers in the ruins of the air raid shelter of a hotel which seems to be destroyed by bombs. His body still is not found. So the writer, a Oberfeldwebel of his unit, could not give more information to the mother. In a few days he will sent her more details when they could open the blocked air raid shelter.

Thanks Gerdan! Yea, It's Rennes France. I was told by his niece that he died in Paris but until I see it on paper...

I really appreciate you taking a look at these for me. I have a few more to post, if you could take a look at them that would be great.
