English Translation
15a company rolled up from the right wing smooth and without losses. Egger personally makes an intelligent and open impression, although sometimes his Jewish intellect appears very strongly. Propagandistically, he is quite productive, but his statements are affected to a certain extent by the fact of his Jewish descent in their propagandist exploitability. 2.) On 25.6.1943 the Ukrainian Vasil Maximischinietz was interrogated. M. is a primitive but open Ukrainian peasant boy, agricultural worker by profession. After the invasion of Hungary in the Karpatho-Ukraine in 1939 he was arrested by these and tortured in prisons. Therefore he decided to flee in 1940. Immediately after crossing the border, he was arrested by the GPU and sent to prison in Stanislau. The prison there was so crowded that they could wipe each other's lice off the body. They were 140 men in one room and if one had collapsed from weakness, they had only poured cold water over him. During the interrogations he was also called a German spy. Particular importance had been attached to the determination of his proletarian departure. When he could point to the calluses on his hands as proof of this, the interrogation had been stopped and he had been convinced that his early release from prison was imminent. A few days later, however, the sentence was pronounced on three years of forced labour. When he cried out that he had only come to Russia to look for work, he was told that he was sentenced to work and that he would be done as he wished. 72246
