One concerns German physician Georg August Weltz, who was tried, but not sentenced at the Nuremberg Medical Trial for experiments with inmates of Dachau concentration camp. The other one comprises numerous information requests on events and figures related to the Weimar Republic or the Third Reich. In order to complete her memoirs Castonier needed to clarify various details from these periods.
