(37) DEPOSITION OF JOSEF HAUPTMANN (Czech, aged 36)

3. On 4th April, 1945, 10000 workers were transferred to Belsen. The journey took about five days and over 100 died, due to the conditions, and a number were shot en route. Attached to the train was an ambulance wagon in which the sick were carried. There were still nine of these alive when we arrived at Bergen station. Whilst I was there the S.S. man Hoessler came up and gave instructions that the nine sick persons were to be shot. I did not see them shot, but I never saw them again.
