Once a day, the server backs up all of the AHF files. Sometimes if you try to post while this is going on, the post is "dropped" by the server, never to be seen again. I've had that happen to me several times, so it's best to keep a copy when you're ready to post. The server operation takes place in the middle of the night in Sweden, where it's located, but that works out to late afternoon-early evening in the US.But where did the post go??
Supreme bureaucrats devoid of any human compassion.Paul53 wrote:
In case the Anatomical Institute has no use for the body,or in case no official of the Institute reports,the body is to be handed over to the Police for burial.In case the family requests the body after execution of the death sentence during the period that the autopsy is taking place, then the family is to be notified that the request can not be taken into consideration on grounds of it being made too late.

About this treatment of the body with formaldehyde: Is the author referring to an embalming procedure, which would mean arterial injection of the embalming fluid (which contains formaldehyde), or soaking the whole body in some kind of container filled with formaldehyde? Preserving bodies to be dissected in vats of formaldehyde solution is typical for anatomical institutes or medical schools.Paul53 wrote:For a following complete-or detailed obduction,or for an immediate fixation of the body with formaldehyde,the representatives of the Anatomical Institutions could in most execution sites,in the same room that was used to store the bodies in, use a sobre obduction table,a water connection,a drain and a small instrument table with chairs.
What determined whether the body was cremated or buried? Close proximity of either a crematorium or a cemetery?Paul53 wrote:When handed over to the Ordnungspolizei, the body was transported as a rule to the nearest crematorium,or in case of a burial, to the nearest cemetery.
Paul, given the list of these instruments and supplies, one would assume that a complete autopsy was conducted on some of these bodies? Or was it a shortened procedure?Paul53 wrote:
