"Subject: Investigation of Attrocities at Kauffring Camp #4 near Hulach,
Germany. (Hulach is near Landsberg).

"On May 1, 1945 I inspected 286 bodies lying in the compound of the above
camp. The examination as to the cause of death was of necessity quite
superficial and hurried. The cause of death could be roughly divided into
three catagories:

"1. 86 bodies were so severely burned that the burns themselves were
undoubtably the cause of death. Sworn statements of witnesses indicate
that these individuals were locked in the barracks at the compound and
that these buildings were deliberately set on fire with the attempt to
destroy all these bodies by the Germans shortly before the American troops
liberated this camp.

"2. 11 bodies were shot either in the head, chest or abdomen or in
different combinations of the above wounds sufficient to be the cause of
death.

"3. 189 bodies showed no gross external cause of death. All of these
bodies, as well as those in the foregoing two classifications, were
extremely emanciated; many of them had large decubitus sores, and all were
lice-infested. According to witnesses, typhus was present in this camp and
some could have died of this disease. However, according to other reliable
testimony, these individuals were murdered by hypodermic injection of an
unknown poison a matter of hours before the Americans liberated the camp.
The German doctor for the camp- a 'Dr. Blanke' -was seen to have used a
large srynge with a needle and to have injected this unknown poison into
these individuals. The result of the injection was death in from five to
20 minutes. Death was precedeeded by generalized convulsions. In a search
of the camp and of 'Dr, Blanke's' home and office, no clue was found as to
the type of poison used. From some autopsies performed, the brain and
portions of the liver, the spleen, the heart and one kidney were retained
for transmission to the First Medical Laboratory in Paris for
toxicological exanimation to determine the type of administered. (Author's
Note: Major Larson later recieved reports from FML in Paris that the
organs he had sent in for toxicological examination on three autopsied
cases were _negative_ for all poisons.) In one autopsied case the
individual had pulmonary tuberculosis which was bilateral and rather far
advanced. There was no gross cavitation, and about
75 percent of the lung tissue contained air and was not completely
replaced by the tuberculosis except for some recent bronchogenic
dissemination. No focal tuberculosis was found in other organs of the
body. This autopsy was performed under field conditions with no water
available.

"The testimony suggested that some of those poisoned recieved injections
over the heart. No needle wounds were observed on the heart in the cases
autopsied.

"Dr. Blake committed suicide a few minutes before the Americans arrived in
town and, according to testimony, his death was due to poisoning
self-administered, supposedly the same type used on the prisoners in the
compound. He aslo murdered his wife by the same means before taking his
own life.

"Thirty-one additional bodies were found in the woods lying on the ground
in a somewhat scattered position a few hundred yards from the compound.
Superficial examination of these bodies showed that 17 of them had died as
a result of gunshot wounds; mostly multiple and probably from machine gun
fire as whole extremities were amputated on some. Fourteen of these bodies
showed no visable external cause of death and were also supposed to have
been poisoned. Numerous photogrphs were taken to corrborate this report.
