M. DUBOST: Did the men who died have a chaplain before being executed?

BOIX: No, not at all. On the contrary, at times, instead of being

consoled, as you say, by anyone of their faith, they received, just

before being shot, 25 or 75 lash with a leather thong even from an SS

Obersturmbannführer personally. I noticed especially the cases of a few

officers, political commissars, and Russian prisoners of war.
