Stamsried Mass Grave Exhumation by German Civilians, May 1945
In May 1945, U.S. authorities ordered local German civilians to exhume a mass grave in pine woods at Stamsried in Bavaria. The local mayor oversaw the work. The victims were described as victims of the Nazi regime, but they were not named. Eight U.S. Army Signal Corps photographs document the exhumation. They show about 20 men with shovels around the pit, civilians digging and lifting bodies, and a large heap of exhumed remains. Other frames show the mayor among marked, emptied pits and a man wearing a white armband beside a partially excavated grave.  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  · |

Re: Stamsried Mass Grave Exhumation by German Civilians, May 1945
Not a well documented area is Stamsreid as far as the Holocaust goes. From what I remember reading I don't think there was a massacre as such - just the usual death march scenario - some just die from exhaustion, etc, others are shot for the hell of it. It was in Stamsried the 151st Armoured Signal Division (part of the 11th Armored Division) witnessed the surrendering of the Hungarian forces (as well as the death march.) Mess and his men shared their food and vehicle rations with the victims of the SS. That's all I can give ya.  |
