Post-liberation Interview

Both Grese and Kramer were interrogated shortly after the camp's liberation by Eric Brown, who spoke fluent German, and who had been asked to do so by Glyn Hughes. His opinion of them is on his linked article page.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.53.190 (talk) 17:35, 15 March 2018

Eric Brown did not go into much detail on Grese and Kramer in his book Wings on My Sleeve, other than describing Grese as "the worst human being I have ever met." As of 2024-11-20, YouTube has a documentary on Brown. Soviet Aircraft of WW2 | Legendary Test Pilot Eric Winkle Brown Talks About Soviet Planes discusses Soviet aircraft that he flew, followed by his full career, and quite a lot of interviews. About 48 minutes in, he discusses the Belsen concentration camp in some detail, followed by a fairly detailed interview of Irma Grese. Is this usable as a source?

Plenty of evidence that Grese sobbed on hearing the sentence of death and cried in terror in her cell. The evidence is from the Associated Press and the Daily Mirror. I suggest a change to the text 81.98.111.131 (talk) 22:05, 9 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

“Broke into sobs” Chicago Tribune 18 November 1945 81.98.111.131 (talk) 22:08, 9 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
Having read the articles in question, what about changing to:
"Grese was found guilty of both war crime charges on the fifty-fourth day of the Belsen trial. When it was declared that she would be hanged, she initially "showed total indifference" before she "broke into sobs" and later was found crying in fear in her cell. Her subsequent clemency appeal was denied because all anticipated pleas from the accused were rejected in advance" 57.140.20.39 (talk) 11:54, 12 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
