==========
Note: Since Alexander Schmorell was executed late afternoon on July 13, and this letter was written “on” July 13, 1943, it is likely that Hugo and Elisabeth Schmorell did not receive it until after the burial had already taken place. Especially when compared to later statements that they were not told where their son was buried.-Ed.
