died three days after the beating,
from an internal hemorrhage.
Schloss, who was arrested by the
notorious Streicher, of Nurnerg On
a charge of having "dishonored
German women and girls" died in
terrific agony of an internal
hemorrhage and as a result of the
blows on the genitals administered
by Erpmuller's adjutant, Hauser.
Up these two cases, it was OBJ
viously impossible to announce
that they had been killed "while
attempting to escape" or that they
had committed suicide. Another
maneuver was evolved:
The bodies were put in collins
In the garage "a former stable, No.
Is on the plan) and during the
night tn egarage burned down "by
a short-circuit." The prisoners
who compose the camp fire brigade
were not permitted to break into
the stable when called to Eek
tinguish the fire." The next day
the charred bodies were found in
the ruins.
1t is evident that the directors
of Camp Dachau have profited by
the lessons of their masters in Ber-
lin and have learned to "put OUT
fires to cover up their tracks.
These facts, culled from the
/ documents in the possession of the
German LID give but a brief
glimpse of the anteroom of death
at Camp Dachau.
The latest news is that all visits
to Dachau have been forbidden, a
GER ain sign of new atrocities.
These appalling facts must
stimulate redoubled protests from
all anti-fascists all friends of tn
LID, against the terror of the Hit
Ter regime, demanding the releas,
of all the prisoners buried aliv
in the concentration camps.
The German LID has announce,
that it will shortly submit to tn
public opinion of the world a vas
Recommendation on the many prise,
, camps in Germany.
The German LID has issued a
appeal to all anti-fascists all owe
the world for donations for the
support of its work, and of the

their Storm Detachment guards, of
social-democratic, Communist. and
Jewish prisoners. Not only 90

Description of Camp
Dachau prison camp, which has
contained thousands of prisoners in
the past year, and with which the
German LID. revelations deal, is
an old powdermill, situated in
marshy ground about 10 kilome-
tiers from Munich. In the accom-
panying sketch, the building in
which the prisoners are housed p
indicated by the figure 8. It is
surrounded by a double row of
electrically charged barbed wire.
Troops mount guard around the
camp at all times. Three machine
guns (16 a-c) have also been built
around the camp.
Between twenty-five and twenty
six hundred prisoners are held in
this camp. Among these are so
intellectuals, fifty to sixty opposi-
ton Nazis, sixty Jews, five hun
dred Social-democrats, a number of
lower middle class artisans, and
about fifteen foreigners. The great
majority of the prisoners, however
are Communists.
The prisoners are divided up into
companies, like soldiers. Each com.
pany is composed of five squads
Company z is the disciplinary com
pany. The first squad of this com.
pany is composed of militant mem.
bers of workers organizations, par.
liamentarians, and trade unior
members. Among these are EwalC
Thunig, an editor, Max Holy, ILL
secretary, and Hans Nimmerfal, +;
municipal counsellor. The SECOND
squad is composed of Jews.
The prisoners are billetted in
the ten barracks indicated on thu
map by the figure 8, where the.
sleep on rough plank beds ar
ranged in tiers of three.
The prisoners at Dachau worl

STAIN REPORTS-Workers Lii
brary Publishers, New York.


When Joseph Stain delivered his
historic speech to the 18th Con-
gress of the Communist Party of
the Soviet Union he administered
stiff rebuff to day-dreamers who
block the road to socialism with
paralyzing theories that the "cap-
italist crisis will automatically I'M
fold into the workers revolution"
Such ideas were annihilated by
the solid logic of the Soviet leader.
"The victory Of the revolution
never comes by ITSELF he said. 1t
has to be prepared for and won.
Moments occur when the situation
is revolutionary, when the rule of
the bourgeoisie is shaken to its
very foundations, and yet the Vie
tory of the revolution does not
come, because there is no revolu-
tionary party Of the proletariat
sufficiently strong and authoritive
enough to lead the masses and take
power. It would be unwise to be-
lieve that such cases cannot
occur"
The full text of Stains speech,
sections of which first appeared IN
abridged cabled correspondence to
the Daily Worker, appears for the
first time in "Stalin Reports"
96-page pamphlet issued by Inter
national Publishers for ten cents.

shops or, in quantities, from the

Prisoners Murdered

The investigation of the German
LID shows that at least fifty pris-
oners have been murdered at Da-
chau. Many were killed almost
imne diately upon their arrival at
the camp, and it has been impos-
sl3le to learn all their names.
Among those murdered, however
arc the following:

A short time later, another

There they were stripped complete
ly naked, and forced to work be-
tween seven and eight hours under
a continuous rain of blows.
