Dr. ten Horn declared to have heard
shootings on Sunday.
At 7:00 o'clock in the morning he was called by Father Habets

The mood amongst the American was very good in the morning, but in the
afternoon they got scared.

detected that around 4:30 p.m.
SS'ers arrived in the St. Annastraat through the Trieststraat along the

Also on the corner of the Derks-Lijn
store was a German patrol. During Monday Dr. ten Horn fetched the
Americans from the house and took them one by one to the St. Canisius
Hospital. After that he stayed home. Two Americans he had to leave
behind upstairs in the house.
The night of Monday to Tuesday was
quiet.
Tuesday morning at 8:15 he had a conversation at the home of Mr.
