Medford Gestapo Horror Spot Saved To Remind World of Torture Visited Upon Belgian People By Frank Fisher United Press Correspondent Breendonck Belgium (U.R) The Germans killed more than 120 persons a month here, the guide said as he led the way to a courtyard where, when tor tures had failed, the victims were shot or hanged. There was the gallows where men dropped through trapdoors so shallow that their necks didn't break, and they Just dan gled there, strangling slowly. Around its base was a mass of flowers, piled there by relatives of the dead. Preserved For Tourists The Belgians are going to preserve Breendonck. When peace comes again, tourists will be able to drive out from Brus sels to this low-lying fort near Antwerp and see just how the Gestapo tortured its victims. The branding Irons will be there, and the pulley by which men were lifted from ground by their ankles and dropped down in sharp Jerks for hours, and the whipping room and the steel rods with which the whipping . was done, and other torture chambers. Breendonck is not a pretty sight, but the Belgians intend to keep it as a reminder after the war when memories grow dim that these things did hap pen; that this was the enemy. Nothing Subtle There was nothing subtle about the methods of the Ges tapo torturers, nothing fancy. When they burned a body with hot irons, they heated the irons in a little stove within a few feet of where the victim lay strapped on a table, Just as they did in the middle ages. Most of them withstood that. Then came the next room, where the naked victims were hoisted by the heels to the ceil ing, then dropped two feet at a time. This lasted two or three hours, up and down, until the head swelled like a balloon and blood ran out of the ears, mouth and nose. One cell contained nothing but an air pump with a vent out side. In the wall was a hole through which the Germans forced gas. If the victim was strong enough, he could pump in fresh air and keep himself alive for a while. The weak died quickly. Hot, Cold Treatment The hot and cold treatment was there. Naked victims were confined to a small room, into which was forced a draft of hot air, then cold. The Germans played varia tions on this theme. One major in charge would order the pa triots to strip, then march to shower baths capable of hand ling a dozen men at a time. The others waited outside, often in knee-deep snow, without a stitch of clothing, and after the shower went back across the courtyard, still naked, to the cells. Only the dead found peaco at Breendonck. The gestapo had a simple method of making sure that the victims didn't rest. The walls of the cells, a bare six feet square, were whitewashed. If one mark of white showed on the clothing, a prisoner was beaten. So the men and worn on stood upright for 12 hours at a time. The Belgians are not a toler ant people; at least, not yet. The same cells now are occupied by Quislings. The only thing omit- the ted 'rom the program is the tor ture. But the Quislings don't know that. They are as careful about the whitewash as any Bel gian was. From markings on the wall where the patriots indicated the passage of the days, it seemed that one had lived a: long as 20 days. One had scribbled: "Marcel Bouchard Mort Pour La Patrie." St. Invite You to Visit Their Everything to delight the children, from tea leti to paints. Bring your children in.
