LAMPE: Yes, indirect testimony. But I heard it from all the internees,
also the SS themselves. The Revier was built by the first Soviet
prisoners who arrived in Mauthausen. Four thousand Soviet soldiers died;
they were murdered, massacred, during the construction of the 8 blocks
of the Revier. These massacres made such a deep impression that the
Revier was always referred to as the “Russen Lager” (Russian Camp). The
SS themselves called the infirmary the Russian camp.
