That was why we were militarily equipped like a self-dependent unit,

-
That is how it was meant for the bigger units, for divisions.
-
And that was how the operations were.
-
Typical: our operation on a hillside,
-
were we would have been shot down by the American artillery straight after our first shot.
-
No one would have survived.
-
So was the military operation on many sections of the front.
-
Literature about this does exist.
-
The principle was: extermination of the politicals; they were to perish in the war and not survive.
-
The companies were assembled as follows:
-
1/3 political prisoners, 1/3 criminals and 1/3 officers, corporals
-
and lance-corporals who were mainly Nazis.
-
You had to be really careful if you did not really know the political prisoners.
-
Any comments or thoughts – it was very easy to get shot.
