He states: "I sot down the reports of Gorman atrocities as hysterical exaggerations, bur. one soidier after another told of wliat he had seen, including cruelties to women and young girls, with circumstantial details which could not be invented by a man lying at the point of death. All said the corpses of maltreated women were constantly seen when the Germans evacuated towns and villages, and the bodies were not wounded with bullets, but with Ewords and bayonets."
