General Sick Transport Company, G.m.b.H.
Dept. II/d, H/K
Berlin, W. 9, 12 May 1941
Potsdamer Platz 1.
To the Director of the Hospital
of the District Association of Swabia,
Kaufbeuren/Bavaria.
Dear Director,
By order of the Reich Defense Commissioner, I must remove mental cases
from your institution and from the branch at Irrsee to another
institution. A total of 140 persons are to be transported, 70 on 4 June
and 70 on 5 June. I forward you herewith Transport Lists Nos. 8, 9, 10,
and 11 in triplicate. The additional names on the lists are intended for
possible deficits (discharged meanwhile, died, etc.).
The marking of the patients is most suitably done by means of a strip of
adhesive tape, on which the name is written in indelible pencil, to be
pasted between the shoulder blades. At the same time the name is to be
put on an article of clothing.
The hospital reports and personal histories are to be prepared for the
transportation and to be handed to our director of transport, Herr
Kuepper; in the same way, the personal possessions of the patients, as
well as money and articles of value.
I enclose property information cards and information cards as to the
defrayer of the expenses, which must be completed accurately and handed
in at the time of transportation. Money and articles of value, besides
being noted on the property information cards, must also be noted on
separate special lists (in duplicate).
Transportation takes place:
