A. Patients who were in danger of death were transferred to another station.
Q. Do you remember whether malaria tertiana is a fatal illness?
A. As far as I know nobody with us died of malaria tertiana. The deaths were a result of the secondary diseases which appeared because of the drugs used in the malaria experiments.
Q. Did Professor Schilling say anything to you about these fatal cases which were under his responsibility and observation, and if so, what?
A. The first two cases, the patient who died as a result of the punctured liver and the one who died because of the salvarsan injection, Dr. Schilling regretted very deeply. He tried to prevent such happenings as much as possible. In the last four cases, concerning the pyramidon experiment, he was told that the patients were in a very bad condition. Nevertheless, he insisted that they continue to receive the pyramidon drugs—I think it was 3 grams per day—and when these patients arrived at the delirium stage, they were transferred from our ward shortly before their death.
Q. And now something else. On Friday you testified that Dachau received anopheles from Dr. Rose’s institute and that there was an exchange of correspondence about the difficulties you had in breeding these eggs. Do you know where Dr. Rose worked, in which institute?
A. I think these letters were addressed to the Robert Koch Institute in Berlin.
Q. Do you know from this correspondence whether these replies came from Dr. Rose personally or from his assistant?
A. That I cannot state from memory. I recall one reply from a lady who was in charge of the breeding of these eggs in Berlin.
Q. That was probably an assistant who had worked with Rose for many years?
