The witness declared the following:
I lived in Lublin and
1138
D-939
D-939
from there I was sent to Maidanek in the beginning of 1942. However, as a prisoner I continued to work for the Germans, who employed me as an expert for electro-mechanical jobs on the various SS houses and SS offices in Lublin. I worked as an electromechanic in the palace building of the SS and Police Chief Glo-bocnik and in the headquarters of the SS in Lublin, Warschauer street 21. The Waffen SS were also there. On the outer wall the notice "SS-Waffen" could be seen and on the pass which I received at the entrance, the words "SS-Waffen" were also marked. 1 knew all the officers, for instance Oberscharfuehrer Riedel, Rot-tenfuehrer Mohrwinkel, Unterscharfuehrer Schrammek. I know that the leaders of the SS Waffen as well as the regiment of the SS Waffen whose seat was in the same building where I worked, participated directly in all the expulsions of the Jews from the district of Lublin. In these expulsions thousands of persons were killed on the spot and the rest sent away for extermination. I myself saw how in the winter of 1941 the "SS-Waffen" of 21, Warschauer Street participated in the deportation of some hundred Jews to Maidanek, when several persons were killed on the spot. At that time my father was also deported because of his long beard, as this action mainly concerned Jews with beards. I know that Rottenfuehrer Mohrwinkel directed this action and was promoted to the rank of Untersturmfuehrer for it. I worked for the "Waffen SS" till November 1942, i.e. until I was transported to Radom. The same persons participated the whole time in all the crimes of the SS in Lublin and district. I wish to point out that these SS men kept their horses in the stables on the aerodrome, where there was a notice: "Mounted Regiment SS Waffen" (Reiter Regiment SS-Waffen). I myself worked on the illumination of this notice. These SS men were also easily recognized during the actions by the spurs on their boots.
