Attn: Susanne Berger
Dear Ms. Berger,
This writing concerns the question of the fate of Raoul Wallenberg. I am sure that you have received many reports, anecdotes, etc. concerning what happened to Mr. Wallenberg after 1945, but I would like to share the following with you:
Oberst von Dufving [COS of general Weidling] spend 10 years in Russian captivity ['45-'55]. In 1949, on his way to the Workuta POW camp in Siberia, Mr.von Dufving met Raoul Wallenberg. This information was later shared with Major Siegfried Knappe, who made a reference of this in his book ‘Soldat’. As a POW Mr. Knappe spend 5 years in Russian captivity. I have met Mr. Knappe many times and discussed his war- and post-war experiences with him. Judging by the integrity and intelligence of Mr. Knappe, who did not question the accuracy of Mr. von Dufving’s report, I do believe that Mr. Wallenberg was indeed still alive in 1949.
If of any help or relevance, there are movie clips available from Mr. von Dufving from 1945 during the surrender to the Russians in Berlin, and from after 1955 where he is interviewed regarding his war experience.
With best regards
Joseph Mens
