Fact: Gertrude, FS' sister, swore under oath that her sister had no scars, marks, or other distinguishing features on her body. The affidavit was signed in Hamburg in 1953.
Fact: In a sworn statement, FS' landlady stated that FS had no scars, moles, or distinguishing marks.
According to FS' medical records after the grenade explosion, FS had no scarring or injuries from the event. Below is a post from Penny Wilson on another thread:
But about the grenade accident in the AEG Farben: Franziska worked in some capacity on the production line. Something she did caused a live grenade to fall to the ground where it detonated and killed one man. She was understandably distraught, and was taken immediately to the factory's own hospital. She was examined for physical injury, and was found to have none; she was detained for psychological observation because of the shock she had experienced. All this was noted by the doctors in her records at that hospital. The hospital is still in existence, and as it stands some distance from the city of Berlin (as did the factory), it survived WWII.
A few years ago, a researcher of my acquaintance accessed those hospital records for the first time. There's nothing sinister or suspicious about the fact that they have been unaccessed for so long -- from WWII until the fall of the Iron Curtain, the hospital existed in East German territory and its records were unavailable. Probably, many people forgot that this hospital had once serviced AEG Farben. But this researcher-friend was thorough in his business, and he was able, through proper channels, to get copies of these records. I've seen them myself, and they state exactly what I have said above. Take it or leave it, believe it or not. Whatever. It doesn't alter the truth of the records.
