The Basel National Zeitung reports in its edition no. 92 of 24 February 1935 on a peculiar court decision in a South German town. A member of the SA was hit by a car in the vicinity of the Jewish hospital. He was brought to that hospital severely wounded. As he required an emergency blood transfusion, he received blood from a Jewish donor. A disciplinary court had to determine whether the SA Man who had now received a transfusion of Jewish blood, could remain a member of the organisation. The court decided that an expulsion from the SA was out of the question, as the blood donor at the Jewish Hospital had been a veteran of the World War and therefore this case was not in contradiction of the instructions of the Law for the Restoration of the Civil Service. The mixing of blood was not a reason to expel him.
