Allemant in France, December 18th, 1914.
There appeared as witness Lieutenant Brandt of the Reserve, Infantry Regiment von Alvensleben (6th Brandenburg) No. 52, who, after the importance of the oath had been pointed out to him, was examined as follows:
As to Person: My name is Kurt Brandt, aged 32; Protestant; book-keeper in the printing works of J. Schmidt at Markneukirchen, Saxony.
As to Case: I can only repeat the statements which I made in my report to my regiment on September 27th.
The report was then read to the witness, and he then declared the following: The report is the one just mentioned by me. I repeat its contents. The letter of the Belgian Government mentioned therein and the list of members of the Garde Civique found, I handed to the regiment on the following day. Lieutenant Dunkel of the Reserve will confirm the correctness of my statements; he was then also at Louvain, and led a train of the Army Telegraph Section 1.
During the firing, field gendarmes handed over to me about five civilians who bore no badge or uniform. The gendarmes reported that they had taken the persons with arms in their hands, and they also produced the arms. I did not examine the prisoners, but had them taken to the Commandant.
