Eavesdropping on Hitler’s Reich
the Auschwitz railroad station in July 1943, as arrivals from Greece
were unloaded. “PW [prisoner] thinks,” comments the report, “the
woman [concerned] was a Greek Jewess.”
TILL: The S.S. man kicked the Jewish woman, who was highly pregnant.
He kicked her right into her stomach and knocked her down, and
the child came almost out. He took hold of it and pulled it out, just
threw it down on the ground, but he told the woman to get up and he
put that child on the truck which was standing there to take away the
dead people to be burned.
BRITISH OFFICER: The child was dead, of course?
TILL: Yes – and the woman could not get up any more. She was
hardly dressed any more and he grabbed her by her breast, he wanted to
pull her up and just ripped the skin and everything out of her breasts.
There was a captain there, from the Army – I think his name was
Captain Klug [German: wise] – he went after the S.S. guy; he took him
by the shoulder, turned him round and said: “. . Aren’t you ashamed
of yourself? You are the son of a mother, too!” . . . The S.S. man just
turned round with his machine-pistol, put searchlights [sights?] on
Klug right away and he had to lift his hands and run about 200 yards
away and [Klug was told] if he would say another word they would
shoot him right away.
Im Herbst 1941 setzten die Judentransporte aus dem Altreich
“nach dem Osten” ein; die Judentransporte als solche gingen eindeutig
auf einen Führerbefehl zurück. In Stuttgart wurden zum
Beispiel die Juden in den letzten Novembertagen 1941 eingesammelt
und in Personen-Zügen nach Riga verfrachtet.
Beinahe drei Jahre später wurden Augenzeugen der Stuttgarter
Verhaftungsaktion bei den Kesselschlachten in Frankreich gefangen.
Im vertraulichen Gespräch mit Unteroffizier Steyer (Feldgendarmerie
Trupp 728) schilderte am 8. September 1944 der Sanitätsunteroffizier
Fuhr (von der 1.Batterie des Fallschirmjägerregiment
5), wie er diese “Umsiedlungsaktion” selbst erlebte:
