The Old Table

The Old Table

The style of this old autopsy table matched the "odd ball" one upstairs, although this has an orange hue - I can only assume it has been sitting down here for a good number of years when it was replaced with the stainless steel. The original legs are intact as well.

It's sad thinking how many innocent children and adults were layed on this table.
I cried when I read the introduction to this awful place.
And to think we worry about how we live today.
Are our problems that bad considering what people had to go through during this awful and pitiful time?

Hellо from Russia, Motts!

Yours photos are amasing!
But! Mistakes in this way are:

"Nine other bodies were also examined and identified; ... Paul Josef Goebbels, his wife Helga...:
--> Josef - Paul Joseph Goebbels - the first.
--> " his wife Helga"
His wifes name was Magda.
She officially had six children with Goebbels: Helga (!!!!!!) (1932), Hildegard (1934), Helmut (1935),
Hedwig 1937), Holdine (1938) and Heidrun (1940).
They all died in 1945 poisoned by their
mother.

Thank you for great photos!

It's nice to help YOU, Motts!

"Helga Goebbels, the eldest child of six, after the autopsy, circa May 9th 1945. Bruises and a broken jaw hinted of a struggle before being injected with morphine. A cyanide tablet was later crushed in the children's mouths by their mother."

Amasing cruelty. I thought that their mother just crushed the flask with cyanide..
But yours signature... I could not find that fact anywhere. Is there a source? I'm sorry if it's a secret.

According to the history I've read, it is not known if the mother gave the morphine injection - and so the person who gave Helga the broken jaw is still a mystery. Some claimed Ludwig Stumpfegger drugged the children, but James O'Donnell claims he was simply a convenient target, as well as too intoxicated on that night (from his book: The Bunker).
