Re person: Petrak, Wilhelm Karl, 30 years old, Protestant, minority German. married,
one child, master dyer, resident at flat No. 22, 17 Katno Strasse, Lodz, platoon
commander in the former Polish army.
Re matter: On Sunday, September 3, 1939, I was called to the ranks at Lodz. As Lodz
was evacuated by the military in the night of the 5th to the 6th, I, with my unit of
troops of the remaining detachment of the 4th Heavy Artillery Regiment. marched out of
Lodz in a northerly direction. On Wednesday the 6th, just before 1 p. m., we reached
the Wood north of Wola Bledowa west of Glowno.
Although we were regular soldiers we were not uniformed, and outwardly could not be
distinguished from civilians. As we were camped on the edge of the wood, some civilians
brought in two minority Germans to us, who were supposed to be teachers. The
civilians maintained that they were spies and that the blond one of the two teachers
had had with him a map with drawings on it.
While we were still encamped, a lieutenant of the reserve carried out an examination.
The blond one of the two knelt on a truck. His hands were bound behind his back with
a chain, which was also knotted round his throat. I watched the examination from a
distance of, at most, 50 yards, although I could not understand the individual words.
Two soldiers, who were standing on the lorry behind the two teachers, then struck them
with rifle butts and a sledge-hammer, apparently at the instructions of the examining
officer. They both cried loudly with pain. When we then moved on, both teachers
remained on the truck. The blond teacher had to remain kneeling the whole time; he
was not in a state to do so and leaned against the side of the truck, which was about a
foot high. He had broken down completely and he hung his head in front of him. The
other teacher, who had black hair, lay bound on the truck. During a halt at about 5 p.
m. I had a close look at both of them at a distance of 2 to 3 yards. Although the two of
them were already beaten up, the two soldiers were still hitting them. Both teachers
were terribly mutilated. The blond teacher's head was completely covered with blood,
the nose completely swollen and pressed to one side, so that I assumed that the bridge
was broken. The left side of his chin was covered with blood and the skin was split
open; the lower jaw bone was apparently broken. The left side of his chest was smeared
all over with blood. He was practically unconscious, and when .the soldier hit him with
a sledge-hammer he only moaned. The other teacher was also completely beaten up.
After this I did not see the teachers again. Soldiers of my platoon later told me that the
two were to have been shot. Since, however, they could neither walk nor stand, they
were dragged to the edge of a wood and were there bayoneted They were supposed to
have been hurriedly buried by civilians, and their grave is on the road beyond
Bromberg.
The teachers were definitely not spies. They had apparently taken flight. The soldiers
said that they had admitted everything, but they definitely only did this because they
were so terribly beaten, for at first they had said quite frankly that they were German
teachers. The lieutenant who had conducted the examination had no authority to do
this, he should have had the two teachers taken to the regimental command, which
was, at the most, about three quarters of a mile away.
