142a - 9 - to express, through coarseness and personal terror, a further acceptance of his surgical treatment. So he once shouted at a soldier who, after a failed first operation, was asked to a second one and refused his admission, in the following words: "Kerl, if you don't agree with the operation now, I will strike you in the skull." When the soldier continued to refuse, he was ordered to do so at the instigation of St. According to the commercial director Trümper, the head of the department for post-treatment, Sick Gymnast Sand, told him several times that St. had repeatedly carried out misoperations and that there had been frequent refusals by wounded people to have a second operation. On the 3nd of February 1944, the nurse Tusnelda Müllensiefe stated in an unsigned statement that once two wounded with hand injury, who constantly refused to carry out an operation by St, had walked from Kladrub to Prague to the 4-lazarate Podol and asked for admission and surgery there. From Christmas holidays, several wounded people no longer returned to Kladrub, but instead went to their holiday resort in local hospital for treatment. About 4 weeks ago, according to a hospital nurse and a wounded man, the senior lieutenant of the Wehr- macht Geisberg (?) with jaundice was transferred to Klatrub. Only in the fourth week he was examined for the first time by Prof. Strauß. As a bile operation could not be avoided, the lieutenant-general prayed for the assistance of a specialist physician or for the transfer to a Prague hospital. Strauss refused this with the exception: "Do you think we have petrol for walking?" On 29.2.44 G. In the course of the operation, he had himself photographed in a theatrical position, holding out the upper lieutenant Gai1e, with a tweezer 36ging of the litken hand. On 2.3.44 the lieutenant died from the consequences of the surgery. After his death ostrich experienced to his great horror that the named bearer was one of the highest Romanian bravery distinctions. Just as superficially the wounded treatment by St. is in general, the obvious case of a private person, who is a long-time volunteer employee of the SD and in the civil profession full-time DAF official, illuminates. His statements were absolutely credible: the private had been transferred to Kladrub on 9.ll.l943 from the reserve hospital in Prague for "several weeks after treatment". At ll.il.l 943 he was examined for the first time by a doctor. As a follow-up treatment he was prescribed sport and massage. On 15.ll-1943 he was brought into the post-treatment section for the very first time.
