Descrizione
English: Leipzigs Deputy Mayor and Municipal Treasurer ("Stadtkaemmerer"; since 1940) Dr. jur. Ernst Kurt Lisso (* March 7, 1892; † April 18, 1945), at desk; his wife Renate Stephanie, born Luebbert (* April 12, 1895; † April 18, 1945), in chair; and their daughter Regina Lisso (* May 24, 1924;[1] † April 18, 1945[2]) after committing suicide by cyanide in the Leipzig New Town Hall (Neues Rathaus) to avoid capture by American soldiers of the 69th Infantry and 9th Armored Divisions as they closed in on the city. Regina Lisso wears the armband of the German Red Cross. Also found dead in the Rathaus was Mayor ("Oberbuergermeister") Alfred Freyberg and his wife and daughter and former mayor and battalion leader of the Volkssturm (erroneously described as a "Volkssturm General") Kurt Walter Doenicke as well as several Volksturm officers. The 777th Tank Destroyer Battalion's official history says the Americans overshot the Rathaus because of old maps on April 18, and the assault began the next morning on April 19. American tanks fired on the Rathaus from 7:30 to 9:10, when a captured German officer carried in a surrender ultimatum. The Rathaus commander accepted the terms at 9:30. The Americans captured one major general, 175 enlisted men, and thirteen Gestapo police. The American flag was raised over the Rathaus around noon. The scene of the Lisso suicides was extensively photographed by Robert Capa, Margaret Bourke-White, and Lee Miller, as well as the United States Army Signal Corps. For reasons that remain unclear, the Freyberg family was not photographed.[3]
Deutsch: Leipzigs stellvertretender Oberbürgermeister und Stadtkämmerer (seit 1940) Dr. jur. Ernst Kurt Lisso (* 7. März 1892; † 18. April 1945) am Schreibtisch, seine Frau Renate Stephanie geb. Lübbert (* 12. April 1895; † 18. April 1945) im Stuhl, und ihre Tochter Regina (* 24. Mai 1924;[1] † 18. April 1945[2]) nach ihrem Selbstmord durch Zyanid im Leipziger Neuen Rathaus nach der Einnahme der Stadt durch amerikanische Soldaten der 69. Infanterie- und 9. Panzerdivision. Regina Lisso trägt die Armbinde des Deutschen Roten Kreuzes. Im Neuen Rathaus fand man auch den toten Oberbürgermeister Alfred Freyberg und seine Frau und Tochter sowie den ehemaligen Oberbürgermeister und Volkssturm-Bataillonsführer (fälschlicherweise als „Volkssturmgeneral“ bezeichnet) Kurt Walter Dönicke sowie mehrere seiner Offiziere. Nach der offiziellen Historie des 777. Panzerjägerbataillons hätten die Amerikaner am 18. April wegen alter Karten das Rathaus verfehlt, und der Angriff begann am nächsten Morgen, dem 19. April. Amerikanische Panzer feuerten auf das Rathaus von 7.30 bis 9.10 Uhr, bis ein gefangen genommener deutscher Offizier nach einem Ultimatum die Kapitulation erklärte. Der Rathauskommandant bestätigte die Bedingungen um 9.30 Uhr. Die Amerikaner nahmen einen Generalmajor, 175 Soldaten und 13 Gestapo-Männer gefangen. Um 12.00 Uhr wurde über dem Rathaus die amerikanische Flagge gehisst. Das Szenario der Lisso-Selbstmorde wurde besonders intensiv von Robert Capa, Margaret Bourke-White und Lee Miller sowie der United States Army Signal Corps fotografiert. Aus Gründen, die unklar geblieben sind, wurde die tote Familie Freyberg nicht fotografiert.[3]
