8 wimmer z.Zt. Jinetz, 4 July 194o. SS-Hauptsturmführer troop training site 1./II./SS-F.Inf.E.Bt1. II.MT.J.E-Batl. message. S0 To the 11./ SS-T.Ing.E, Battl. Prague - Dewitz. The l. Compenie of the II./S-T,Inf-K.Batl. Prague was ordered according to Batl. command from 29 June 1994o to 6 July 1994o for the school combat shooting after the troop exercises Jinett. According to the shooting order of the Kammandantur troop training ground Brdy-Vald No. 5o/4o of 29 June 1994 the company from 2.7.-6.7.194o each from l4.oo-Zo.oo clock was available the infantry track. On 3 July the company carried out a group-school-fighting-scattering-in-the-time of l4-oo-zo.oo Ühr. In the morning, I led the target building with the underleaders, and I saw an unexploded liggen. Apparently, a lo,5 om grenade. After the target construction was relegated, I took a cardboard disc, ripped it off from the pole and put the pole in front of the unexplosive for identification, in order to be able to report it after the shooting of the commandant for blasting. a After returning from the target building, I once again taught the men that the blind ginger mentioned above should not be touched at all. After 5 Grupeen had already shot during the shooting, time about 5 p.m., was made by the group Rupp hit shot. The länner had the order to go to the disk they had shot at, and after taking the Ireffer immediately to return to the position of fire. I myself groped behind the place of fire and waited for the result of the meeting. Even though I, as well as Üntersturmführer, had already given lessons in Prague on the behaviour of blind men, the 3 men Schulz, Rasper and Capricorn must have run away from their shot-out visions despite instruction and prohibition and gone to the blind man. They must have played sniffingly with the unexploded. Schulz and Steinboek, as well as Rasper during the xplosion of the grenade by splinters, were seriously injured. Unterscharführer Draht, SS-man Rupp, Staffelanw. Wagner and Staffeland. Kostka who were about l5-Zo m away from the fall site, were not fatally endangered. After the explosion I immediately went to the accident site to determine the cause of the event and to initiate the first aid. The squadronanw. S c h u l z died a short time afterwards at the accident place. The relayanw . S t e i n b o c k died on the trans port to the Krenkenhaus Påchibrám.
