13 February 1945 Loss of Louisa Mary Gould

Louisa Gould sheltered Feodor ‘Bill’ Buryi, who was an escaped Russian from German slave labour camp Immelmann. She with the help of friends and family set Bill up with a new life on Jersey. Two sisters living close to Louisa, Maud and Lily Vibert wrote to the Geheime Feldpolizei (secret military police of the German Wehrmacht) advising them of Bill in the hope of a financial reward. Louisa Gould was sentenced to a total of 2 years’ imprisonment for failing to surrender a wireless radio, prohibited reception of a wireless transmission and abetting breach of the German working peace and unauthorised removal. She was taken to Ravensbrück Concentration Camp and was executed on the 13th of February 1945.
