Operation "Black". Interrogation of a Partisan, captured by members of the SS Division "Prinz Eugen", on a hill north-west of Mratinje. His hands were tied high behind his back, with a rope – which was thrown and tightened around his neck. In this position, a man's upper body is completely disabled: by lowering his head, he tightens the already strained enough hands, and by lowering his hands, he is strangling himself – that is, with any movement (of these body parts), he causes himself an additional pain. Such binding was certainly unnecessary, and can be interpreted only as toying, i.e. viciousness; he is the only prisoner, he is surrounded by SS men (some are laughing, others scowl at him), and they are all standing at the top of a hill, isolated (where there is no room for sudden or hidden movements). His fate is unknown.

Operacija "Crno". Ispitivanje jednog partizana, zarobljenog od strane pripadnika SS-divizije "Princ Ojgen", na jednom brdu severozapadno od Mratinja. Ruke su mu vezane visoko iza leđa, konopcem – koji je prebačen i zategnut preko vrata. U ovakvom položaju, čoveku je gornji deo tela potpuno onesposobljen: spuštanjem glave on zateže već sasvim zategnute ruke, a spuštanjem ruku davi samog sebe, odnosno – bilo kakvim pokretom (ovih delova tela), sam sebi nanosi dodatni bol. Ovakvo vezivanje svakako je bilo nepotrebno, i može se protumačiti jedino kao poigravanje, tj. iživljavanje; on je jedini zarobljenik, okružen je esesovcima (jedni mu se smeju, drugi mršte), i svi se nalaze na vrhu brda, izolovani (gde nema prilike za iznenadne ili skrivene pokrete). Njegova sudbina nije poznata.
