Radiation martyrs - dial painters included?

["Björn Cedervall" <bjorn_cedervall@hotmail.com>]

Radsafers,

Long ago I read somewhere that a stone was raised over the early 
radiation martyrs in 1936. This stone had the names of 169 people who 
became the victims of the early experiences (burns/cancers...). The 
place was probably Hamburg. My question is if any of you knows more 
about this and in particular if the early dial painters' deaths 
(mainly osteosarcomas I think) were included on the stone. I assume 
that the 169 names were to reflect the worldwide victims rather than 
only those of Germany. Any comments would be appreciated.

Sincerely Yours,
