141a -4 Vlaschim and Kladrub arranged bus transport after the beginning of the school time was changed to the fact that the bus, whose traffic times had previously been laid according to the starting possibilities of the wounded, now runs according to needs of the children of Prf.St. who go to the school to Vlashim. Furthermore, the soldiers complain that St. for his private car rides (allegedly he had driven to Berlin almost every second week in the summer of the year with his car) not only the petrol for a concrete machine not in progress since August last year, but also the petrol intended for the water pump. For this reason the wounded would have only three times an hour each day to use water. On the other hand, the washables, swamp beavers and nutria in the fur animal farm belonging to the sanatorium are refilled every morning, even before the soldiers in the sanatory receive water. The sanitare plants are, according to the own determination of a local guarantee man, extremely insufficient due to the lack of water. Another guarantee man who was housed in the barracks l6, found no absorpture in this barracks, only a Wc not accessible for patients. For the wounded a latrine was intended in the open air. The way to this latrine is stony and uneven and brings great difficulties for the disabled, especially in the dark. When an employee of the sanatorium at Strauß raised ideas that the use of latrines for the soldiers represents an unworthy demand, Strauß explained briefly that the soldiers had to vomit over a beating in the field hospital. Serious accusations are made by the inmates of the sanatorium against Strauss, but above all against the manager of the research institute, Karl Herzog, for war crimes against the supplies of the hospital as well as for fraud. Due to numerous charges, the criminal police station in Prague took action against 'Herzog' last week and arrested him. The previous investigation has shown that a certain group of people among the hospital's senior staff has removed considerable quantities of food from the rations intended for the Wehrmacht. Herzog, for example, used 5 litres of whole milk daily from the Sanatorium manor to feed the dogs. Furthermore, he fed whole pieces of meat intended for the hospital kitchen to his dogs.
