● From the Comintern Archive about Simon B.
War in der 11. Brigade und war Chauffeur beim Munitionstransport der 11 Brigade. Kam im Februar 1937 zur Brigade, war ein sehr guter und zuverlässiger Chauffeur und auch tapfer während den Kampfhandlungen. Politisch war er nicht organisiert, war politisch primitiv, interessierte sich nicht besonders für politische Arbeit, aber sonst ein pflichtbewusster Antifaschist.
