Merano

She was interrogated for several days in prison, permitted no visitors, and allowed to write no letters.

In the autumn of 1945, she was transferred to hospital in the Italian city of Merano, where doctors diagnosed her with uterine cancer.

She died on the 23rd of March 1946, and was buried in the German military cemetery at Marano, sharing a grave with a German soldier, Horst Brügge, at plot number 610.

What is interesting is she did not die directly from cancer, but from mercury poisoning caused by her treatment.

But staying with the Merano flavor, we can move on to Friedl, which we talked about quickly yesterday on air.

It's the alcohol-free beers that they make in Merano and also fermented iced teas.

So we went to this place called Joseph Mountain Resort.

And it's right above Murano, which Murano is a big ski area.

Fancy.

Like the hotels in Murano are fancy.
