''The world was well satisfied that justice had been done at the "Nuremburg Trials". Personally, I lost respect for the process of justice after the Trials! It seemed to me that the money distributed was of most benefit to many of the most affluent victims!
All I can say is that, "I have been in Auschwitz and Buchenwald. My files have resided in Bonn, Brussels and The Pentagon and who knows where else! Whitehall and maybe Moscow but the best place is nowhere!"
Antonio ánd I now descended into the forest and walked towards the old quarry and the open plain. At the bottom of the hill we came across a funny haystack! To me, it stuck out like a thorn in the middle of a field and on the wind we smelt petrol fumes and human flesh. No doubt, the S.S. had been around at work, who else!!!
I looked at the haystack again and said to Antonio, "It seems to be a set-up, probably an ambush - let's get out of here quickly before we get fried". It was too early in the year for a haystack and also the flat facade on the front was facing the road towards us. Besides all that I also felt like someone was starring and watching us! Once behind the walls of a building we made a safe getaway. Who wants to get shot at the last minute when the hostilities are over!
When we got back to what had been, Buchenwald concentration camp, Elmer came to see us. He announced that he had a mission arranged with the Commandent and that everything was in order for him to take us and start a report. Antonio was a good hand at typing and I had all the information on Auschwitz and the extra's!
