ABSTRACT
By the time Glyn-Hughes' party had finished their reconnaissance, the main body of 63 Anti Tank Regiment began arriving at the camp where Kramer and some of his staff were waiting. Kramer delivered a report on the numbers of internees and was then ordered to accompany the British officers on a tour of the camp. Taylor ordered Kramer to accompany him on an inspection tour when there were reports of rioting by the prisoners. As Taylor walked down what he described as the 'main roadway' of the camp he began to realise the full horror of the situation:
A great number of them were little more than living skeletons with haggard yellowish faces. Most of the men wore a striped pyjama type of clothing - others wore rags while the women wore striped flannel gowns or any garment that they had managed to acquire ... There were men and women lying in heaps on both sides of the track. Others were walking slowly and aimlessly about - a vacant expression on their starved faces.2
