On 28 October 1940 during the afternoon roll-call one prisoner was found missing. A penal roll-call was ordered at noon.
Prisoners had to stand "at attention" in their uniforms but without coats, sweaters, hats or shoes. It was sleeting during the whole day.
The roll-call was called off around 9 pm after the missing prisoner was found. He had tried to hide from the rain and died in his hiding place in the camp. After the roll-call over 120 dead, unconscious or sick prisoners were collected from the roll-call square.
