The prisoners, weakened by disentery, their food described as `powdered manure,' were whipped up the 148 steps of the quarry in freezing weather, bearing heavy slabs of granite. If a prisoner stumbled under the weight of the load, beatings followed immediately. Sometimes a victim unwittingly, but perhaps mercifully, killed a fellow sufferer when he was unable to keep a firm hold on the stone that crashed on someone below him. Three weeks was the normal span of survival. Many of the victims, driven to desperation by their hopeless ordeal, ended their agony by jumping to their deaths from the top of the quarry. The guards referred to these as `the parachutists' and were vexed by their action since the spattered flesh and blood spoiled the neatness of the steps. "In the last months of the war forty-seven downed American pilots had been imprisoned in Mauthausen. they were among those who were compelled, barefooted, to make the climb. Men who reached the top were marched back and given heavier loads. By morning all were dead. The supervision of the quarry enterprise fell to a homosexual sadist, the notorious `Blond Fraulein' -- so named by his comrades. He boasted of hacking to death a contigent of eighty-seven Dutch Jews over a period of a few days while they were digging into the sides of the quarry. <14>" <14> P. Tillard.
