The paper consists of an introductory study and an edition of 14 documents, which the author found in the National Memoirs Institute Archive. They cover authentic reports by an STB agent implanted into the prison cell of pro-Nazi commander L. Bunta under investigation for his alleged participation in massacres in the lime-processing plant at the village of Nemecká in 1958. The author warns that the exact picture of the events cannot be reconstructed. He is aware of the deficiencies in the analyses of the post-war testimonies by the direct actors of the executions, which he approaches with sober critique. One may only agree with his statement that the content of the reports by the “implanted agent” provides a far more trustworthy account of the events. It is highly appreciated that the submitted paper contains a large number of previously unknown information. Of more interest are those reports that attribute more responsibility for the massacres to the pro-Nazi guards than hitherto believed.

Key words: Military History. Slovakia. WWII. Repressions by the POHG and Einsatzkommando 14. Nemecká. 1945.
