Here is the story As the Russian armies drove westward to meet the American and British at the Elbe,a soviet patrol picked up a Mrs Bergmeier foraging food for her three children.Unable,even to get word to the children ,and without any clear reason for it ,she was taken off to a prison camp in the Ukraine.Her husband had been captured in the Bulge and taken to a POW Camp in Wales.When he was returned to Berlin ,he spent weeks and weeks rounding up his children,two (IISe,12,and Paul,10)were found in a detention school run by the Russians,and the oldest Hans,15,was found hiding in a cellar near the Alexander Platz.Their mother’s whereabouts remained a mystery,but they never stopped searching.She more than anything else was needed to reknit them as a family in that dire situation of hunger ,chaos,and fear. Meanwhile in the Ukraine,Mrs Bergmeier learned through a sympathetic commandant that her husband and family were trying to keep together and find her.But the rules allowed them to release her for only two reasons :(1)illness,needing medical facilities beyond the camp’s in which case she would be sent to a soviet hospital elsewhere ,and (2) Pregnancy,in which case she would be returned to Germany as a liability. She turned things over in her mind and finally asked a friendly Volga German camp guard to impregnate her ,which he did.Her condition being medically verified,She was sent back to Berlin and to her family .They welcomed her with open arms ,even when she told them how she had managed it.When the child was born ,they loved him more than all the rest,on the view that little Dietrich had done more for them than anybody.When it was time for him to be christened,they took him to the pastor on a Sunday afternoon .After the ceremony they sent Dietrich home with the children and sat down in the pastor’s study to ask him whether they were right to feel as they did about Mrs Bergmeier and Dietrich.Should they be grateful to the Volga German ? Had Mrs Bergmeier done a good and right thing?
