Wergin's statement said that
Haupt had told him: If said any,
thing about his HaupD being in
this country, my son would be shot
by the German Gestapo. Herbert

do In this country. I knew then
there must be something wrong.
-" I did not mention the matter
to any one because / know what
goes on in Germany. I know they
will kill my son and the relatives
OF myself and wife will be jailed"
