Prime Minister to Foreign Secretary 26 Nov 44
I consider that at the end of the winter campaign it would be appropriate for the City of London to confer its freedom upon this remarkable American General [General Eisenhower]. It is obvious that no one else should be included at the time.

..........ATROCITY DETAILS.....POLISH CAMPS
From an occupation story I learned that the ashes from everyone were put in a barrel and then a letter was mailed to the family asking if they wanted the cremated remains and if so, send money. If they received the money they went to the barrel and sent them an urn full.
That in an of it self is not a big deal but for some reason speaks to me how evil these people were.
