C. App. 37.
Report of the 8th Company, Infantry Regiment No. 178. on the fighting round Dinant on August 21st and 23rd, 1914.
February 14th, 1915.
Private Jentsch states in general the same as the witness, Non-commissioned Officer Macher,[2] except that he actually only saw a great pool of blood on a floor; the dead German soldier, of whom he had heard, had already been concealed. He does not now know to which company he belonged. On the same day, according to his statement, a further batch of four civilians were shot because they had attacked a sentry of Infantry Regiment No. 182. These people were fetched out of an underground passage. The order was given by Lieutenant Tränker.
[2] See App. 29.
In the military school about 400 men in civilian clothes were guarded. These were well looked after, and were also later on allowed to receive their relations. On the fourth day we were relieved by Reserve Infantry Regiment No. 106.
Signed: Lucius, 1st Lieutenant and Company Leader.
