AFFIDAVIT OF DEFENDANT VON BUELOW, 17 JULY 1947, CONCERNING GUARDING OF FEMALE CONCENTRATION CAMP INMATES AND TRAINING OF FEMALE WORKERS OF KRUPP AS SS GUARDS FOR THE INMATES  
 
  I, Friedrich von Buelow, now at Nuernberg, having been duly warned that false statements on my part will render me liable to punishment, herewith state the following on oath, voluntarily and without coercion:

In June 1944, SS Colonel Pister, the camp commander of Buchenwald, came to Essen to discuss questions relating to the allocation of concentration camp inmates to Friedrich Krupp. Since the original intention was that these concentration camp inmates would have to be guarded by the plant police (which was subordinate to me), I was called into the discussion. However, since Pister declared that the guard duties could only be performed by SS guard personnel, my presence at the discussion was no longer necessary.

Only later did I learn that female workers were recruited by Krupp for the SS, and that they returned to Essen, after a short training period, as female SS guards for the inmates who had been allocated to us.

I have carefully read the one page of this affidavit and signed it personally, made the necessary corrections in my own handwriting, and countersigned them with my initials, and I declare herewith on oath, that I have in this statement told the pure truth to the best of my knowledge and belief.
 
[Signed] FRIEDRICH VON BUELOW
