10 May 1945

the townspeople were forced to file past and witness bodies of
the 22 girls who starved to death between May 4 and May 7

     

a German child, 10 years old, fainted and fell onto one of the caskets
her name is Waltraud Ihlenfeld -- she is living in the vicinity of Berlin

we are trying to locate this lady
to obtain her recollections of the event

     

Lieutenant Colonel Robert F Bates
Inspector General of the Fifth Infantry Division

ordered the local NSDAP (Nazi) party members
to recover the bodies of the 22 starved women
and ordered the local people to provide caskets

     

the living girls were transferred from the barracks to this building
in Wallern that was being used as a hospital for German soldiers
it is no longer a hospital and has been repainted
