i robin's brook germany 90 kilometers north of kurland. the. com and i o. yes, this name is ins. synonymous with one of the most notorious, not situations specially built to house women and children. ah, by 945. over 130000 female prison passed through revenues. i punish women were the largest group and concentrated me. many of them i more than

90000, died in robins, of 70 percent of those sent to this day, the deserted houses of the ss gods, remain homes of offices under the command of one of the most feared and powerful men in germany. henry shimla, the man with whom count folk are bernard arch, would have to negotiate to secure the release of scandinavian prisoners. on the one hand, ben, a dutch wanted to save as many prisoners as, as possible. on the other hand, negotiating with the leading nazi, i came to some extent implied recognizing it as the kind of partner. so it's

a dilemma if you catch trying to tooth tracy. but for bernard arch, there was no choice on the 19th of february 1945, 3 days after his arrival in germany, he was taken up and then a sanatorium at home mission, not far from revenue broke. he was brought here to meet himmler that his filler, in the senatorial grounds at the negotiating table. similar, flatly rejected, burned adults proposal for the release of all scandinavian prisoners. but bernard dogs achieved one major concession that norwegian and danish inmates should be moved to a camp where the swedish red cross would be able to support them.

the camp was called night and gamma 9 gamma was the camp which was nearest the danish border. so he hoped that time of the similar was whom he was negotiating would say, okay, take all the scandinavian prisoners back home. and then he wanted to be as near to the danish border as he could. and this was why they chose 9 government as a place. the 3 days after meeting him not been adopt was back in sweden, working hard to assemble a rescue expedition. ah, 300 volunteers were quickly identified offices and soldiers from the swedish army with red cross doctors and nurses among the

adults. ah, the swedish transport vehicles were to be allowed in germany to collect scandinavian prisoners from other concentration camps and moved them to new incoming. the allied forces by now in control of the skies over germany were informed of the plan. with their response, it gives a whole campaign, its name. bernard up spoke to some commander of the allied forces and said, okay, we are doing the rest you action and please don't fumble. and then the soldier said, no, we can't guarantee you that. so it's better to take the bus white, or if we can see which buses belong to arrest you action. and so they decided on painting the buses,

right. and they decided to put the swedish slack to painted on the roof so that the planes are, these are non german buses, but these are gonna be naval buses. ah, on march the 8th, 1945, the 1st column of swedish buses. the white paints still went to ferry in the swedish hopes of moment. mm. 4 days later, the vanguard of the expedition reached the place. bernard dot had chosen as its headquarters in germany, friedrich through castle. all the castle was owned by prince auto. from bismark, the grandson of germany's island, chancellor. his wife and marie kingdom was swedish.

by them, whatever haunted me deaf amelia's banner dot as well and present limits plug bernard dell. my mother was friendly with the bernard dot family and especially with an adult. i. his who came here a lot to negotiate with the representative of the 3rd, right. when he did that bulk of an adult always stayed here over night or to be got on with my mother or rather with my parents very well. she said good pushed on one bismark powerful home that freed this room was ideally placed close to the danish border and just 20 kilometers from 9 gamma health. oh device booster. here he the 10 tyler stella ducks boat as we saw on board and on the white buses were

headquartered in the zirrucks involved for an entire year in free drinks room push and was sent out to various different areas of germany to pick up prisoners from the concentration camps of to name and to try wherever possible to take them back to scandinavian, navi, and simply use the 1st phase of the evacuation started on march. the 15th. the white buses divided into 2 platoons. around 40 ss and gestapo liaison officers were attached to the expedition the 1st platoon headed east to the campus, sexton house, and over 300 kilometers away. steve young musson, a swedish red cross volunteer, accompanied them as a motorcycle escort. nearer the compton section house

this morning. so when we finally arrived construction, carson, who combed the gates were open to yeah. and a lot of norwegians came out in a fairly orderly way that they normally would. i don't over the 1st stage and when they took the 1st steps more 3 years towards freedom. there were no play with that was an experience. stood up lives. huge experience focused really. the 2nd white buses, platoon headed south to duck ho, shown belk at mount towels. they took with them the details

lists of danish and norwegian prisoners being held in nazi custody. the list helped the people from the rescue mission to know whom they searched in which camp. so they took the lists and went or drove until the concentration comes and they could read out. mr. anderson, mr. johnson and so on, must be here. so we search for him and he is to come to the bus and we take him with us. so it made its very easy in that part for the rescue action that the lists were there. but within 2 weeks, the white buses campaign had become a victim of its own success by late march, more than 4500 danish and norwegian prisoners had been evacuated and brought to the

noise. got my camp which was over capacity even before the 1st white bus arrived me non gamma had been billed for 2500 prisoners. and at the end, shortly before the scandinavians were brought, yeah, there were 14000 prisoners. so the camp was totally crowded. and the people were dying because no one had an old bed and there was not enough to eat. and so on. the germans insisted that if the evacuation were to continue, the swedish buses would have to transfer 2000 inmates of noise gamma away to other attempts. on the 27th of march, the swedish yielded to the german demand the white

buses designed to save scandinavian prisoners when now carrying hundreds of others to an unknown future. as far as we know, not many of them made it because they were so ill and dying that many, many of them died during the transports in this white buses to other concentration camps. and this was a problem for the scandinavian prisoners knowing that those people had been brought away in order to give them space. they hadn't asked for this. they weren't guilty but, but they felt they were guilty because they are better alive, was made. other people die. this terrible task completes the white buses could return to their job of

collecting more scandinavian inmates from camps and prisons scattered across nazi germany. and by the beginning of april, 1945, some, 7000 danish and norwegians had been brought together in 9 gamma but the ultimate purpose was still to be achieved, getting all the scandinavian prisoners out of germany, and away to safety and sweden. oh, oh. once more count folk have been adult, the driving force behind the expedition returned to germany. the himmler agreed this time to the transfer of the sick and of all females stand to navient

prisoners. this by the 18th of a move and 1200 sick prisoners had arrived in sweden. ah, i the following day, the british forces arrived at the river elder. practically within sight of noise. i find now german control of the camp. right through the rest of the german soldiers. i think most of them ran and hit at that point when the war was almost over,

there was nothing they could do to let what is called on. and it wasn't easy being a german soldier with no, not at all. if they were out on the streets, they would tear off with anything which mark them as being a german the in the chaos now engulfing germany. evacuation of the camp became a matter of logistics rather than permission. ah. danish fussy said, now joined, relieving exhausted swedish volunteers. ah, ah, by april the 20th hitler love birthday. 4300 norwegians and danes had been rescued from noise. ah, most were brought to

a reception center set up in a spar in the swedish city of ram. ah, today, this memorial beyond the waves in the grounds of the spar is dedicated to the efforts of the white buses expedition but the white bus volunteers were not finish and the bus driver who came from sweden and denmark, they told us that it was very cruel to see other people, other prisoners who were non scandinavians, standing there, seeing the white buses. seeing the red cross and laughing and yelling and thinking they would be rescued now because breakfast buses were arriving. and then they had to say, no, sorry, we are only taking the scandinavian prisoners in

. no dot wanted to try to save those. they had been forced to leave behind. the the to return would mean, facing a new danger. allied forces were attracting virtually anything moved on german roads. on the 15th of april, the whites buses left free to his route on their most dangerous mission. yet a long trip south to theresienstadt in what is today the czech republic favor natalia. that is the we stayed overnight and that s and stuff and there were $400.00 juice. i think it was. let me get families we were picking up there. so we

entered there or are there not yoda sold? and during the night while we slept at the, they loaded up the buses. i think everything was ready and there was, there were some complaints. one baby carriage is what we had to throw them away. that i remember the ah, after a perilous return journey, they achieved what looked impossible just weeks earlier. in fact, you eating 424 danish jews. ah, the jews didn't come 1st. mrs. effect is nothing to mix up because situation was much would understand the situation. germany also under what conditions may could squeeze vss and himmler bone. other good stuff is saying, well,

i'm coming here to i want to to ask if you could do that. but after while quite another job, whereas killed me, i been adults next go was robins broke and the release of french women held there with the advancing so via tommy just days away. himmler unexpectedly agreed to the evacuation of the entire camp. women of over 20 nationalities 3rd of or make your palms corina. well, there were many polish women. and among them there were 3 women that were awhile up . their pregnancies were well advanced. so the way and some of the fro got in to

the. someone asked the guards, it was how come there was so many pregnant women born and the german said that it was on the spirit and began to do his jeremy. oh no. so we have this chief medical officer with us on hold on with his name and he told the person in charge that one of them would probably become a mother during the night, a handed and wrote over to the boy enough as well. do you know where the dome in those kind of be? so they put it out a bus which they called are albin. they fitted it out like the maternity ward. and the 3 women were kept in there with any new told them one of

them gave birth to a son that night ah, in the closing days of april, the white buses transported some 10000 women to sweden. the ah ah, at the end of the month with soviet troops battling their way into berlin. i don't hitler committed suicide. the war in europe had just

a few days to run. on may the 1st, the swedish white buses came home to melman with all except one volunteer. this then got records to document that out of it. so that it is done is obviously that if you need don davidson, minnesota, we cannot transport it out or nobody got concert bathrooms, negative thing instead of a was been, you know, another of me to read or add,

but i ended up job about i've been doing you then change up, so if, if it's good or i'm out of that now and then some new demo. another are you, me didn't leave a message ok . after the germans surrender, the buses would return to bring another $10000.00 prisoners to sweden. of 30000 lives saved by the white buses. at least 10000 would use me
