<HTML>Hi friends,
I have not heard of this either. Pretty wild I reckon. I think you may have stumbled upon something with those U-numbers MPC. I\'m hoping this is a hoax. We can\'t trust everything we read in newspapers or other publications. Perhaps the story got confused somehow. Maybe a freshly recruited SS division with propaganda on their mind with no exposure to any substance of war previously was responsible. I would like this story to be backed up by more facts. I did some research online but I couldn\'t find anything either. We must also not forget that this was near or at the end of the war and tensions were high between soldiers as they had no idea of what their futures would be and some were out for revenge as a result of their family being bombed and killed by the allies.
Thanks for the interesting post though. I hope this can be looked into further. I was rather surprised no one (including me) knew about this incident. That in itself is making me wonder :-)
My very best wishes to you all,
