   A report has just been presented to me on the so-called "Reinhard   
   Operation" that I have only just become aware of, according to which   
   rags and clothes were itemised and which contains the incredible   
   figure of "thousands of kilos of women's hair," but it is not an   
   original report. I know that, on account of the danger of   
   lice-infection, every concentration camp inmate, man or woman, was   
   shaved, but I consider "thousands of kilos of women's hair" and   
   "train-loads of bed springs" however as being very improbable.   
   Liebenschel or Glücks once said to me that in every concentration camp   
   all hair was shaved and the inmates were rubbed with a certain   
   solution in order to kill the lice. The women received a head-scarf.   
   That is nothing special; for, in all eastern countries all the hair of   
   inmates is cut because body lice transmit typhoid. Throughout the east   
   there is a greater fear of the louse than of any animal; for, in   
   contrast to the merely unpleasant crab louse, the body louse can cause   
   death. Many inmates of concentration camps, especially in the east,   
   fell victim to typhus epidemics. Then very energetic measures had to   
   be taken, and I remember that I once went with Globocnik through the   
   sequestered barracks of a typhus camp. There the sick lay on   
   upholstered straw mattresses; they were minor cases, seriously ill   
   people and those who had already died or were dying. Sometimes a   
   decision may also have been taken to kill these sick people in order   
   to prevent the danger of a spread of the epidemic. A letter presented   
   to me just yesterday of the Reich Governor in the Warthegau, Greiser   
   authorises the killing of Poles who suffered from open tuberculosis in   
   the case of their incurability being established and certified. The   
   Reichsführer had been requested to provide the means for the killing   
   of the incurably ill. I remember that Councillor Däumling directed the   
   Polish department in the RSHA and was also connected with this story   
   of "open tuberculosis." I can no longer say how it happened, and   
   neither do I know if the proposal was authorised. I was not   
   responsible for it, nor for the treatment of Jews in the Warthegau.
