A. We received no eggs from the Tropical Institute in Hamburg, but Professor Schilling corresponded with that Institute.
Q. Can you remember in which year you received these eggs from the Robert Koch Institute, or rather from Professor Rose?
A. It was in the summer of 1942.
Q. You have told us about a number of these flies which you had to breed in the vicinity of Dachau. Were you present?
A. There was one special detachment for this purpose, including an SS man and one or two inmates. That was in the swamps surrounding Dachau during the summer months. Various water tests were made, and according to the degree of heat of the swamps, Dr. Schilling ordered the waters to be infected with a mixture of pig food. This special detachment went around the cellars of the Dachau camp during the winter months and worked on that matter. Our laboratories then examined these anopheles flies, and used them for breeding purposes.
Q. Can you state anything about the quantities caught?
A. It varied in the winter—sometimes they brought 10, sometimes 30 to 50, and sometimes 60.
Q. Did your department in Dachau deliver any such eggs to other departments?
A. We delivered such eggs on one occasion, but I cannot remember where.
Q. I now come to the question of malaria culture. From where did Professor Schilling receive his malaria cultures?
