Obersturmführer Heinz Thilo was right when he said to me that this is the anus mundi. In the evening towards 8:00 attended another special action from Holland. Because of the special rations they all get an extra fifth of a liter of schnapps, five cigarettes, 100g salami and bread, the men all clamor to take part in such actions. Today and tomorrow (Sunday) is all work.
