Torture and maltreatment at Rotenfels, Schirmeck and Saales.There are two cases involving the shooting of 16 members of the 2nd S.A.S. Regiment. There is, however, no evidence of torture or maltreatment of the victims. In the first case eight other ranks of the 2nd S.A.S. Regiment were taken from Saales to La Grande Fosse and shot there on 15th October, 1944. Fourteen accused were tried by Military Court at Wuppertal between 15th and 21st May, 1946. Of these, one was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment, two to eight years, three to four years, one to three years, one to two years, and six were acquitted. Investigations into the complicity of other sus-pects are continuing.
