Subject: Dechenschule
Enclosed I am forwarding to you
the letter of the Stapo [State police], of 11 instant with pertaining
enclosures. The following points strike me in the enclosures:
1.
Prohibition to smoke— In this matter we had decided that Dechenschule
inmates who behave well for at least some weeks (how many weeks?) are allowed
to smoke; these men would be put into a separate room. Please clarify that with
the Stapo.
2. Section 9 of the house rules — As to mail, some
privileges, too, were to be introduced for well-behaved internees. This, also
should be clarified.
3. Section VII of the service regulations, service
books — Have all these books been prepared? I should like to have a look
at them some time.
4. Section III of the camp rules — The rule
that the term of recaptured escapees is to be counted from the day of the
second detention at the camp seems important to me.
5. Section V of the
camp rules — Health insurance and accidents at work. Are these regulations
proper? |

MR. THAYER: May I ask also whether or not there was some indication
within the camp of Dechenschule of the name of Krupp — did the name Krupp,
K-r-u-p-p appear anywhere within the camp?
WITNESS COME: On the
blankets.
Q. While you were at Dechenschule, Father Come, did you wear
a priest’s habit?
A. I had given up my soutane, or priest’s
habit, at the station of Anon, and had gone to Dechenschule in civilian
clothes. When I arrived in Dechenschule, my own civilian clothes were taken
away from me, and I got the blue or gray with yellow stripes — that is,
the uniform of the convict. |
