    You'll find the files hold extensive information on the case. Some redactions within the files, but that's par for the course with this sort of thing.

    Kind regards, and good luck, always,

    Jim.

    Some light reading available courtesy of The National Archives Kew.

    Search results: Drueke | The National Archives

    The six files (screenshots below) have been digitised and are available for download.

    The London Archives hold the Wandsworth Jail ("condemned man") file on Herr Drueke, but this has not been digitised so to look at it it's a visit to said archive (check with them first to see if it would be made available to view).

    Kind regards, plenty of coastline to work with, always,

    Jim.
