"When in October, 1944, Russian units... broke through German defenses and advanced as far as Nemmersdorf, they tortured civilians in many villages south of Gumbinnen, nailed some on barn doors and shot many others. A large number of women were raped. The Russian soldiers also shot some fifty French prisoners-of-war. The effected villages were reoccupied by German forces within forty-eight hours." Major-General Erich Dethleffsen, Chief of Staff, German Fourth Army testimony to American Tribunal "On the road through Nemmersdorf, I saw a whole trek of refugees had been rolled over by Russian tanks; not only the wagons and teams, but also a goodly number of civilians, mostly women and children, had been squashed flat by the tanks. At the edge of the road and in the farm yards lay quantities of corpses of civilians who evidently had not all been killed in the course of military operations but rather had been murdered systematically. On the edge of the street an old woman sat hunched up, killed by a bullet in the back of the neck. Not far away lay a baby of only four months, killed by a shot at close range through the forehead.... a number of men, with no other marks of fatal wounds, had been killed by blows with shovels or gun butts; their faces were completely smashed. At least one man was nailed to a barn door. Yet, not only in Nemmersdorf itself, but also in the nearby villages between Angerapp and Rominten similar cases were noted after these villages were cleared of Russian troops. Neither in Nemmersdorf nor in the other places did I find a single living German civilian despite the fact that the Russian invasion had come as such a surprise that no appreciable number of civilians could have fled...." Dr. Heinrich Amberger "At the edge of town, on the left side of the road, stand the large inn, Weisser Krug.... in the farmyard further down the road stood a cart, to which four naked women were nailed through their hands in a cruciform position. Behind the Weisser Krug towards Gumbinnen is a square with a monument to the Unknown Soldier. Beyond it is another large inn, Roter Krug. Near it, parallel to the road, stood a barn and to each of its doors a naked woman was nailed through the hands, in a crucified posture. In the dwellings we found a total of seventy-two women, including children and one old man, 74, all dead... all murdered in a bestial manner, except only for a few who had bullet holes in their necks. Some babies had their heads bashed in. In one room we found a woman, 84 years old, sitting on a sofa... half of whose head had been sheared off with an axe or a spade. We carried the corpses to the village cemetery where they lay to await a foreign medical commission. In the meantime, a nurse from Insterburg came, a native of Nemmersdorf, who looked for her parents. Among the corpses were her mother, 72, and her father, 74, the only man among the dead. She also established that all the dead were Nemmersdorfers. On the fourth day the bodies were buries in two graves. Only the following day did the medical commission arrive, and the tombs had to be reopened. This foreign commission unanimously established that all of the women, even the woman of 84 years had been raped." Karl Potrek "The women who had been surprised in the village, including several nuns, had been herded together by the Russians, raped and gravely abused. The women had been bestially stabbed or shot. The Army (Wehrmacht) immediately invited the neutral Press. Reporters from Switzerland and Sweden as well as some Spaniards and Frenchmen from the occupied parts of France came to witness the 116
frightful scene." - Captain Emil Herminghaus "The Russians... swept the native population clean in a manner that has no parallel since the days of the Asiatic hordes." - George F. Kennan "Expulsion is the method which, so far as we have been able to see, will be the most satisfactory and lasting." - Winston Churchill, December 15th 1944, House of Commons "The transference of several millions of people would have to be effected from the East to the West or the North, as well as the expulsion of Germans - because of what is proposed; the total expulsion of the Germans - from the area to be acquired by Poland in the West and the North." Winston Churchill, House of Commons, December 15th 1944 ALEXANDER SOLZHENITSYN "In Allenstein, which had been taken almost without a fight, the sacking and raping lasted for weeks." Dr. ALBERT SCHWEITZER "The most grievous violation of the right based on historical evolution and of any human right in general is to deprive populations of the right to occupy they country where they live by compelling them to settle elsewhere. The fact that the victorious powers decided at the end of the Second World War to impose this fate on hundreds of thousands of human beings, and what is more, in a most cruel manner, shows how little they were aware of the challenge facing them, to re-establish prosperity and, as far as possible, the rule of law." Dr. Albert Schweitzer on receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, Oslo, November 4th 1954 REAR ADMIRAL HENRY C. FLANAGAN, U.S.N. Commander "Had the originators of the War Crimes Trials doctrine been in any degree motivated by justice and the desire to punish the perpetrators of extreme atrocities in time of war they would have at least made some attempt to bring to trial the hundreds of Russian officials for perpetrating the most heinous atrocities ever afflicted upon civilized peoples, against the Poles and Germans and no doubt against all other people who have at any time been under Russian control." LORD CURZON "A thoroughly bad and vicious solution, for which the world will pay a heavy penalty for a hundred years to come." - Lord Curzon, British Foreign Minister, 1919 - 1924 VICTOR GOLLANCZ "If the conscience of men ever again becomes sensitive, these expulsions will be remembered to the undying shame of all who committed or connived at them... the Germans were expelled, not just with an absence of over-nice consideration but with the very maximum of brutality." Our Threatened Values, 1946, p.96 ROBERT MURPHY "Knowledge that they are the victim of a harsh political decision carried out with the utmost ruthlessness and disregard for the humanities does not cushion the effect.... it would be most unfortunate were the record to indicate that we are the particeps to methods we have often condemned 117
