In writing this statement of how Fascist Spain 
treats the International Prisoners within her 
territory, I wish to stress one point in particular, 
and that is, the extremely dangerous position 
of our German Comrades. Throughout all the 
thirteen months that we were together together, it was 
chiefly the German and Polish Comrades whom 
the Fascists singled out for special persecution.
Nine of these Comrades have spent and very
likely are still still spending their days in 
the vermin infested, damp, and indescribably 
unsanitary dungeons of San Pedro de Cardeña.
This, for the last six months, on a diet of 
one bread the size of an Hot-Dog bun, one ladle 
of sour beans, and putridly rotten sardines.
The loaf of bread is an issue for 24 hours. 
Unless these Comrades are rescued and 
this in the very near future, they will be 
beyond saving. The inhuman treatment 
they have been receiving these past months 
will, beyond the slightest doubt cause their 
deaths, and that - Who knows? - Even now 
some of them are in the small cemetery back 
of the Convent of San Pedro de Cardeña.
