In April 1945, the guards at the small camp evacuated the women in the face of the U.S. Army. Hildner was one of several guards on the death march who took part in mistreatment and murder of several young girls with her baton. She also accompanied the march into Zwodau, another subcamp of Flossenbürg, located in Czechoslovakia. [citation needed] Several days later, the march departed for western Czechoslovakia. In early May 1945, the SS men and female overseers fled the march site. Hildner melted into the hordes of refugees, escaping temporarily, but was recognized by Czechoslovakian police in March 1947, arrested, and put in prison. [citation needed]
Trial and executionedit
On 2 May 1947, aged 27, she was tried in the Extraordinary People's Court in Písek, Czechoslovakia, found guilty of war crimes and hanged the same day.[1]
