Hi. I'm trying to get informations about SS Scharfuhrer Aloïs Iser, who worked at end of war in Cahors's Gestapo and was judged by the TPFA of Bordeaux. Dates of trial: 22.7.1952 - 23.7.1952. Danyb posted the verdict. But I would like to know if by any chance I could obtain further information as the trial transcript. And also whether he has done his sentence and where. A big thank in advance for any information

Dear Researcher,

According to Wikipedia (as of 2015) her date of birth is 30 June 1908:
Mathilde Carré (30 June 1908 – 30 May 2007)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathilde_Carr%C3%A9

Please let me know if this is an error.

Hi Calle,

Sorry but I cannot say for sure if the date is correct. My original date was also from Wikipedia, but it has been updated since.
Even now, a Google search on her name will bring up both dates and also 2 different years for her death (1970 and 2007).

Additionally, there were...

As of July 1941, a women’s compound was established in theSchirmeck-Vorbruck camp in Alsace, and it was around that time when the first Aufseherinnen appeared, under the command of Oberaufseherin Marie Lehmann, who came from Alsace, and was nicknamed (“Hyäne”) “Hyena” for her ferocity. She once said about a prisoner at the camp, “She has to die like a bitch!” Under Lehmann were four Aufseherinnen who were probably trained at Ravensbrück along with her in 1940. Following the end of the war, a court in Strasbourg, France sentenced chief female warder Lehmann to a term of imprisonment for war crimes, though her exact sentence is unknown.

Of the known matrons from Neue Bremm-whom received terms of imprisonment by a French court in Rastatt during May-June 1946 were Olga Braun, Frau Brubos, Wilhelmine Brun, Frau Koch Henriette Müller, and Frau Schröder. Nothing at all is known about them and postwar testimonies of Neue Bremm, prisoners rarely mentioned them. Olga Braun, born on October 18, 1926, was a former typist for the police in Saarbrücken and after joining the camp staff at Neue Bremm she was delegated in the office of Kommandant Schmoll.

Thank you so much danyb for that add. I'm not sure about this one, but the Senior Overseer (Oberaufseherin) of Geislingen, a certain Baumeister or Banmenstein (I'm assuming Rosa BAUMEISTER) was tried in the French zone of Germany for war crimes and sentenced to 6 years in prison.
