“I can still remember the Aktion at Sdolbunov on October 13, 1942. I saw the way Wacker opened the door and pulled someone out. It was an old woman, with a small child in her arms, who tried to defend herself, saying, “Leave me, Herr Kommissar!” Wacker grabbed the child by the legs, swung him around several times and then hit his head against the doorpost. It sounded like an exploding tire. When the child was dead, the inhabitants of the house came out without any resistance, completely resigned. I heard how Wacker said to his comrades: ‘It’s the best method, we just have to understand this.’”
