LAMPE: No, we did not know. We were chiefly interested in finding out of
what nationality they were and did not ask other details.
M. DUBOST: Do you know where the British, American, and Dutch officers
came from, about whom you have just spoken and who were executed on the
steps leading to the quarry?
LAMPE: I believe they came from the Netherlands, especially the Air
Force officers. They had probably bailed out after having been shot down
and had hidden themselves while trying to go back to their lines.
M. DUBOST: Did the Mauthausen prisoners know that prisoners of war,
officers or noncommissioned officers, were executed?
LAMPE: That was a frequent occurrence.
