In one instance, a woman managed to let out a scream before the perpetrator gripped his hands around her throat, hey On a that, the woman's husband and one of his friends were waiting the boy and other third, the commotion day, russia, and managed to tackle the assailant to the ground, while yelling for the police feud I fear the man manage to whether them and break free fleeing in the surrounding bushes seemingly learning from this mistake, the man took to disabling his victims first by striking them over the head with a heavy object so that they couldn't call out for help He also began carrying a knife so far.

While she couldn't say anything but darkness, she could feel If someone else's presence panic washed over her purity broke out in a sprint, desperate to get to the safety of home, but the footsteps started up again, increasing the spade until she could feel the person right behind her All of a sudden, he had felt a heavy thought to her head. She, fellow and was immediately I've, come biased, stabbing pain. A man stood over her silently forcing a knife into her neck over and over using All her strength here

The friedrich felder attacker had struck again, just like he had done after lena boot, seen ski he kept a low profile, Several weeks until the police investigations dissipated once he Felt like he was in the clear he returned to hunting ground and aged back into use bray with minor confrontations.

Although she hadn't heard anything about the spate of attacks, her instincts at least sense. The danger gertrude picked up the pace. the person walking in the shadows behind did the same Adrenaline soared through gertrude's veins and everything in her body told her to run. She reassured herself. It was likely just another train passenger, making their way home and managed to remain calm.

She finally reached her parents home relief washed over her, but as good. It made her way to the front porch. She heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and came face to face with a man. She didn't recognize he's face, barely visible through the darkness. Although gertrude realized, the man had been following her she assumed, had relatively innocuous intentions. Yet It seemed genuinely taken aback by how calm gertrude was she stood there. Silently staring at him, eventually, the man felt compelled to break the awkward silence Are you going in there?

Three weeks later, on the evening of Wednesday August twenty one, forty year old, Hughley schumacher was walking on the line through the friedrichsfelde at gaudens, all of a sudden, a flash of light stopped in front of her You really had become so accustomed to the darkness that brought lie caused her physical pain realizing the lot of come from a flashlight wielding man. U, angrily yelled at him to stop. He didn't respond. Instead struck uli over the head, with a heavy blunt object. Render her unconscious when you he came to. She realized she'd, been raped. There was no sign of her attacker and police belt,

A nice font had oil, also no rackula slate survive to their ordeals. Despite the offend his best efforts I didn't manage to kill anyone having Now carried out a rape, there was no doubt the attacks. Sexually motivated police, Again to suspect the assailant might have intended to write the other women too, but had been forced to flee made at tack after some manage to scream out. Once again. the severity of the attacks diminished in the wake of ulysses ripe, but they didn't stop completely.

At least a dozen more women reported being harassed by a flashlight wielding man in the fragrance photo gardens with police, but Being there might have been more, who chose not to come forward on Sunday august, twenty five nineteen forty an explosion, rocked berlin, craft.

Morale was immense up until this point the pay, full of berlin believed their military leadership when they said the british would never bomb germany. Now anything was possible. Fearing another more deadly attack

Berlin's official war induced blackout mimicked the one currently in place in london to discourage german attacks windows were painted, black straight lights were deemed And the few vehicles on the road had their headlights blocked within Days of initiating the official blackout, the nazi disability, severely increased punishments for those who took advantage of the dark and conditions to commit crime. A few months in prison for crime committed during the day became a death sentence. If it were committed at night, this didn't deter the friedrich felt garden,

By Friday september, twenty nineteen forty one month had passed since the attempt, murder of Uli Schumacher, maha cargo was riding the s bahn home after a long day due to blackout matches dies, was operating with only one quarter of its usual lighting and all The windows were covered, the dim lights, coupled with the motion of the trains. lowly loud good off to sleep when she childhood awake. She realized she'd accidentally slept through her intended, stop Gerda quickly disembark at the next station, where she waited in the dark for the next trying to take her back in the opposite direction,

With the train exterior is void of lot. Certain spots had been covered with phosphorus paint soda give me the snow, glows white not eventually Gerda saw the glow of the indian train, followed by the click it clack sound of its wheels says it slowed to a stop. She border it and guess, sayd, with the train continuing onwards until gerda was the only one left in the compartment. with men away at war. The trains were often only populated by women by nightfall many women were at home looking after their families, leaving the load trains near empty, with only light shift workers and transportation staff on board. It was around one thousand, one hundred and thirty p dot m by the time the train departed valhalla station

Even when the train was in motion so get out recognized this as an opportunity to save herself.

Passenger would realize what he done get it. tat our opened the sliding door with the trains

Dil stating along that roughly forty to fifty miles per hour, he pushed to get her out. Her body was swept up by the fees wind fly, find through the air. But several moments before hitting the ground with the hard thought. The following morning, a possible I was walking near the train tracks beyond avaux hottest station when they heard screams for help. They went to investigate and fair to get a cargo lying in paying her attacker had mistaken her for dead when he pushed her unconscious body off the train and as luck. would have it good had landed on a soft pile of sand. She landed on the rocky surrounds. She would have most certainly died from impact. Instead, Yet I had only suffered a concussion and multiple abrasions. Again

it is personal belongings were discovered a little further up the track indicating her attack. I had three them out the door immediately after pushing gathered around yet when good I reported her ordeal to the police. They were skeptical. Given there was no sign that gerda had been sexually assaulted or robbed, police were convinced that a crime had taken place at all I felt a good story that a random stranger would strangle, went push out of a train for no reason was too far fetched. When god admitted she had had a few drinks before boarding the train and had fallen asleep during the trip police believed more likely scenario was that good I had been drunk and accidentally fell off the moving trying in the dark. She then up the story about the assault to cover her own missteps.

Train related accidents and fatalities were not uncommon. During the blackout, with numerous passing is falling off of trains or platforms. Due to the lack of lighting. It was a what's. The nazi party was willing to pay, as they were at the heart of their power and enemy bombings. Continued in berlin problem, the need for the blackouts. Two weeks later, twenty year old gertrude did I stood alone at the rumours borg train station waiting for the Yes Bonn. A man soon approached and struck up a conversation good. read was charmed by him and gave him her hyundai dress when tossed it faced the allotment gardens in the neighboring suburb of frederick's photo

And around midday, the following day, a member of the nazi party went to gertrude time to speak to her about some personal matters. He knocked on the front door, but there was no response. He tried the door handle and was surprised to find it on locked. he pushed the door opened slightly and to look inside blackout. Drapes were drawn across the windows, making it difficult to sing march through the darkness The man lit a match and, as the flicker of light cost across the small dark kitchen, he spotted gertrude body propped up against a tight, with one of her hands resting on a bench. Gertrude's eyes were bloodshot and her long black hair was talked behind her badly bruised neck

which also bore a deep wound. A fractured hyoid bone revealed that she had been strangled with intense force before being stabbed and dying of blood loss. Gertrude had no defensive wounds and her house wasn't in disarray, which indicated she likely knew her. yellow and had willingly led him inside before he launched a swift and unexpected attack lying on the ground underneath good right hand was a kitchen knife: it didn't any blood or foreign fingerprints, making it unlikely that it had been used against her. Instead, it had probably they knocked about during the skull or gertrude might have wielded at in defence. The The weapon was deemed to be a pocket knife, which was nowhere. Be found. Gertrude

I didn't been sexually assaulted and nothing was taken from her house. Gertrude two infant children were found asleep and unharmed in the living room, oblivious to what had taken place. Given that most of gertrude's neighbors had been asleep at the time of the attack, no one seen or heard anything suspicious, the black I would the man had moved through the area completely unnoticed. Gertrude's injuries, matched the friedrichs felt god and attack his ammo to what t, leaving no doubt for the police that the same man was responsible. Given that this was his first successful, What are the efforts to identify him dramatically? Increased women who had survived the previous attacks were re interviewed and by piecing together, their small recollections police ascertained that the perpetrator was

between thirty and forty years old, around one hundred and seventy centimeters tall and with a quote body. Facial expression. Some record he had been wearing a short leather jacket, sports shirt with an open collar, dark pants and a blue flies that cab. Some had seen him riding or pushing a bicycle. posters containing these details were displayed throughout the friedrich folder a lot, my garden and surrounds, along with offer of a one thousand rocks marks reward. The posters read. for a long time in colony, goodland and Granting area so Three women have been immorally morally harassed and some have also been wounded with a knife, especially in the dark by an unknown offender. It is

to be assumed that the murder of gertrude did our concerns. The same offender. It is the duty every citizen to actively participate in identifying these damon. By this point, the friedrich sphere that got an attacks had been going on for over a year, but most of who women still won't fully aware of the lingering danger, even though the one the post is mentioned. Gertrude did is murder. They significantly downplayed the thread and failed to detail the offenders history of sexually motivated violence and right One newspaper encouraged for known sex offenders to be looked into, but the newspaper was published for the rock criminal investigation depart. and was only read by law enforcement personnel. Given that p

Said disregarded, gerda cargoes account of being strangled and thrown from the s barn as fictitious a connection hadn't being made to the train line. Similarly, no one knew that gertrude did. I had met her killer had the room I spoke train station hours before she was attacked. Therefore, the stops along the train line when highlighted as significant areas in the police, investigation and women. Continued riding the s barn alone at night, with no additional sense of vigilance. On the evening of november, the elizabeth bender, finished her late shift, selling train tickets.

It had been less than a month since Goodtree did. I had been murdered just a short walk from where Elizabeth now stood at the s bahn station in Friedrichsdorf ota. She boarded the train just after eleven p. Dot m and sat down across from a male passenger. They were the only two in the compartment and as the train moved away. The station. The man struck up some small talk. by the time the train raged hirsch garden station, he stood at the door of the compartment and looked out to the platform No one else boarded debt compartment and the train took off once more. As soon as the train started moving, the man walked out to Elizabeth. He removed a thick piece of lead piping. He had up his jacket slave.

And brought it down hard on Elizabeth had she was temporarily, can cost but regained consciousness relatively quickly and began screaming for help. her cries were muted, but the loud sounds of the train as it sped along the tracks shoring no other passengers. Could he her man hit Elizabeth with the pot over and over until she eventually slumped down onto the floor. The attacker then opened the compartment door. With the intention of pushing Elizabeth body into the rush of cold air outside he turned around to grab her but to his surprise Elizabeth was still alive and had started inching away from him. Once again, he beat her repeatedly with the lead applied Elizabeth clung.

The consciousness, but was no longer able to scream all fight back. As her attacker dragged her towards the open door, he continued pelting Elizabeth's back and kicking her body until the train to send it towards the next station. He then started molesting her. Just before the train lost momentum. He pushed Elizabeth through the open door and out into the darkness. Like a cat, a cargo before her elizabeth Elizabeth Bendorf, oculus we survived being thrown from the s bahn. She suffered a severe concussion and extensive injuries, and it took eight days of treatment in the hospital before she had recovered enough to be questioned. police, while Elizabeth could describe her attack, she couldn't identify the man responsible, regardless

police. No longer doubt it a gut a cowgirl's story. Neither the nor Elizabeth got a clear look of the offender's face and the small descriptions they could provide conflicted one another. Still police now had a new crime scene to examine for clues. They searched the s bahn and while it was difficult to single out the attack is fingerprints in the compartments due to it being such a high traffic area, they did find something of significance behind one of the saint cushions police uncovered the lead pipe that are being used to bait Elizabeth Ben doth. The bloodstained pipe was two inches They can't twenty inches long with telephone, cable inside and numbers printed on, the exterior it was

oakley it why the perpetrator had two left it behind, but he did have the foresight to wipe down the section he'd been holding onto to remove his fingerprints while any old piece of lead pipe would be near impossible to trace. The numbers on this papa allowed police to identify it as having come from cable that was laid alongside the s bond tracks. Around romas bore a year and a half prior police I looked into the workers who had originally laid the cable and ruled them out as suspects one by one. There were only two other ways in which the piping could have been obtained. One of the workers could have How has it lay tossed aside with the attack our later stumbling opponent? The problem with this theory was that we Germany at war, scrap metal was valuable, It therefore unlikely to be willfully discarded. Alternatively, the piping could have

stolen from the warehouse where the scrap pieces of cable were taken after the job was done, thousand of people had access to the warehouse, meaning anyone could have sworn to investigate is determined that the same pace of part, had been used against uli shoe ma, thus confirming the friedrich felt a garden and s attacks were carried out by the same offender, but they Quick to realize the weapon wasn't the smoking gun they had anticipated. Given that no one had been killed on the s bahn. News of the attacks didn't spread. and no increased safety measures were put in place, for the most part lie. if the s bond continued as normal. Just like had with these attacks in the friedrich photo gardens. The offender waited until police it

tension had waned and was focused elsewhere before striking again, on the night of tuesday December three nineteen forty one month after the attack on Elizabeth bendorf, the puppy Try to ride the s bahn with a fifteen inch lion rod concealed b's jacket, slave Given that Elizabeth had survived, he decided would no longer engage his victims in small talk. First, the chance of them getting a good look at him was too risky. When he spotted twenty six year old, inner self ray defranco, traveling alone in a compartment. He walked right up to her. pulled out his iron rod and struck her in the head with that. Saying a word learning, from his previous mistakes. This time he hit harder to ensure alfredo would be completely in capacity.

He had absolute control over the organs of propaganda, the press, the radio everything so they were centralized and what he wanted to say could be put before the german people without contradiction.

Radio warden see that they listen Joseph goebbels was well aware that a serial killer was active in eastern berlin. He knew that Yes, bond murderer as he'd come to be known, had an extensive history of offending with ease,

actions escalating over time. Now that the purpose. I was striking multiple times in one, not local women in great danger and the the steward that there was little, the police could do that. Resources were already stretched due to the war and the blackout induced crime wave. They were also vastly inexperienced to tackle a case of this magnitude, regardless, as the minister of propaganda gerbils didn't want any word of a getting out as date out in the book a serial killer in nazi berlin, goebbels one. The german citizens to feed the nazi regime and not think they could get away with. committing violent crimes here also didn't want the german men who were fighting in the war to think they'd be better off protecting their loved ones at home. Consequently,

the s bond murderer was kept out of the press. A few posters request information about alfredo franco's mode outward dotted around train stations, but they imply was a one off crime, not the work of a serial killer. Not only did they censorship put more women at risk and also prove Did anyone with information that could be helpful to the investigation from coming forward? Police did what I could, within the limitations set by the government, offering Reward of ten thousand iraq's marks for information pertaining to El Frida's murder. This was a nick and a man of money at the time with a smile, home in the area costing around one hundred and fifty rocks marks common caning matters was the unpredictability of the killers behaviour. While he had it

Clear and now he's crimes weren't always carried out in the same manner or location. Sometimes He struck in the expansive allotment gardens on the s body. or along the surrounding straits. Sometimes he interacted with thought taunted he's victims other times he struck without any word or warning. Although the s bond murderer had only committed a few sexual assault police below The all he's crimes was sexually motivated. Whether or not right tool. Molested he's victims depended if he thought he could get away with it in time, without getting caught I was of the essence, with the attacks occurring more frequently. It signify that the thrill was wearing off quick off at the yes bond matter, or he would likely.

Can you distract more often to satisfy his desire? Ada Schmidt. Not her real name was dressed in her nicest clothes. When she border yes s alone, and At an area known as the second class compartment, it was the same sex. ocean, where women had previously been attacked and thrown from the moving train. The compartment was empty when ada took her seat, but her peaceful journey, It was soon interrupted by a lone male passenger. Slowly he approached data. although she couldn't say he's face due to the poor lighting, she could tell that. He was wearing a buttonless black jacket and a hat that together looked like some kind of uniform. Suddenly the man stopped in his tracks, he could tell that ada didn't appear afraid. Instead,

Her posture suggested she was on heightened alert as though prepared to defend herself. ada thought the man looked confused as to what to do next. Suddenly, he rushed to the side door before forty could react. He yanked it open and launched himself out of the moving moving into the darkness darkness. without causing significant injury. Ada watched is. He ran towards the nearby rumours borg train station before loser Thought of him completely, once train came to a stop aid is compartment was swarmed by police. She was an undercover officer posing as a civilian hoagie, to lure out the s bahn. Although it couldn't be concerned with absolute certainty that the man who approached a dog was the killer

His behavior was suspicious enough for police to strongly believe it was additionally, while the an attack dressed in casual clothing survival of the yes bomb attacks reported that the perpetrator war, some kind of uniform police I the tracks and nearby stations, but found no sign of the man. No one who had crossed paths with the s by night, or I was able to accurately identify what kind of uniform was their accounts differed with. Some describing it as blue, while others said black. said he wore a hat with an emblem on the front. many civilian and military uniformed organizations existed within the nazi regime and some of the uniforms, were very similar, making it difficult for police, narrow the suspect down to any particular group. They can

if whether he could be wearing the uniform of the elite german paramilitary organization, the shoots staffel, widely known as the s s. while the latest iteration of their uniform was grey.
