15 July 1941 | The SS duty officer on that day recorded in the registry book that the following prisoners were shot during an escape attempt: at 8:30 a.m. prisoner number 18013 (Jew Karl Bachstütz); at 8:35 a.m. prisoner number 17477 (Pole Jan Świerczyński), at 8:40 a.m. prisoner number 17476 (Pole Karol Czarnecki), at 9:20 a.m. prisoner number 17934 (Jew Wolf Kind).
The short intervals between each event suggest that these were not escape attempts. It seems unlikely that the prisoners would attempt to escape almost one after another.
It is presumed that the supervising SS guards ordered the prisoners to leave their work sites, and when they walked a certain distance and crossed a previously designated guard line, they were shot. The SS guards then reported the escape attempt, for which they could expect a few days of leave as a reward.

Maia, we are so happy for the relationship that is growing between you and Bambi. With her changing eyesight and shifting relationship with Mara, Bambi could use a friend. And it is so lovely to see evidence of your heart healing, after losing your dear companion. 🐘💚🐘
Maia shows tender care as she reaches around Bambi's face to gently touch the healing sore on her cheek. Their growing friendship, and Maia's returned joy, has officially touched hearts around the world. 💚 It's another moment that proves the healing power of sanctuary.
