Krassow, who on his march is followed…
November 1709 CE
In a meeting with Prussian official Scheden, he justifies his choice to march through infected Damm and probably infected Gollnow by responding that Gollnow is not infected at all, and that the situation in Damm will be dealt with by setting up a military corridor through the town separating the army from the inhabitants; Horn from Krassow's corps adds reports that in Damm, after the death of five hundred people, none of the remaining four hundred inhabitants had died for three weeks.
