C. App. 79. ST. ERME, _December 17th, 1914_. Acting-Sergeant-Major Göpfert, after the importance of the oath had been pointed out to him, made the following statement: As to Person: My name is Oswald Emil Göpfert. I am 27 years old; Protestant; battalion drummer, 3rd Battalion, Infantry Regiment No. 178. As to Case: When my battalion was entering Leffe, numerous shots came from almost all the houses. We supposed at first that the shots came from soldiers; however, it could only have been civilians, since no soldiers were found in the houses. I saw with my own eyes that a civilian fired at and wounded Captain Franz. Only the men who were implicated in the firing from the houses were shot, while the old men, women, and children were taken to the convent. I was myself present when an old man, who had been fetched out of a house, was separated from the guilty civilians and taken to the convent. Read over, approved, signed. Signed: GÖPFERT. The witness was thereupon sworn. Signed: STARKE, Officer of the Court. C. App. 80. GUIGNICOURT, _January 8th, 1915_. _Deposition._ There appeared, as witness, Lieutenant of Reserve Löser of the 5th Company, (Guards) Grenadier Regiment No. 100, who, having been warned to speak the truth, made the following statement: My name is Walter Löser. I am 28 years old; Protestant; Forest-referendary on the State Forest Preserves, Elster II. at Adorf in Saxony. As to Case: On entering Dinant the 5th Company, (Guards) Grenadier Regiment No. 100, was ordered to fire only at civilians who were themselves shooting at our troops. The order was everywhere complied with. No atrocities were committed by our troops. I even know of cases where our troops treated with the greatest consideration the innocent inhabitants of Dinant, who evidently were suffering under the critical condition of the time. I remember to have seen how the men of our regiment carried infirm old people and children through the rows of burning houses with the intention of rescuing them. Read over, approved, signed. Signed: LÖSER, Lieutenant of the Reserve. The witness was thereupon sworn. Signed: VON LOEBEN, Lieutenant and Officer of the Court.
