Testimony of: Lt. William P. Walsh (Contd)

89 A I told him to set up in the yard when I called for them. Told them to fire if they tried to get out.

90 Q Did you tell him to commence firing?

A Not to my knowledge I didn't, Colonel. I might have as there was quite a bit of excitement when they started to come up on the right flank.

91 Q Did you know a moving picture reel was made of this?

A No, sir. I saw a photographer when we first entered the camp, but I did not know he was that close.

92 Q Do you know his name of identification?

A No, sir.

93 Q Did you take a correspondent when you went into the yard?

A We met one in the town of Dachau who said he was going to follow us. I do know they planned to.

94 Q What is his name?

A Sir, I don't know. All I know they had a jeep and they were in uniform.

95 Q Is there anything further you wish to say?

A No, sir.

96 Q Did you see any inmates of the prison abusing, mistreating or in any way mishandling SS men?
