| [Stamp] |
| Received: 13 June 1942 Prosecutor's Office Nuernberg-Fuerth 1c |
| Subject: Charge against the priest
Luitpold Schosser, born at Burghausen/Lower Bavaria, 28 April 1909, at Vilseck since 27 March 1939 |
| On 17 May 1942 the Polish farm laborer,
Martin Strysow, died in hospital at Vilseck. The priest Schosser announced in
church after the usual Sunday evening May devotion that the transportation to
the cemetery and Last Sacrament of the Pole would take place immediately
afterward. Induced by this announcement, about 50 people, mainly women and
children, participated in the funeral procession and praying loudly, as usual,
rendered last honors to the Pole. A large number of the population took offense
at this incident. By this action the priest Schosser has malevolently criticised the national political demands of the National Socialist State. Furthermore, he has debased the dignity of the German people in an incredible way and has caused a great number of fellow Germans to behave in an undignified manner. Judging from the usual attitude of the priest Schosser it may be expected that after having been informed of the charges made against him, he will try to influence possible witnesses. Therefore, I request his immediate arrest. |
