Robert L. Tumler collection

The collection consists of wartime and postwar photographs, postcards, a typed report on Ebensee (Mimeograph copy) and a German map on which Tumler drew the route his unit took ending in Ebensee. The photographs include some images of the Ebensee camp taken shortly after liberation. Robert L. Tumler (1911-1980) served as a medic in the US Army during WWII. His unit landed in Normandy six weeks after D-day and followed the Advancing Troops across Europe. As camps were liberated, they provided a basic level of medical care - the last camp was at Ebensee.
