There were actually 30 Germans, but since they could go out on leave, they split into two groups and, in general, at the time we'd chosen to revolt there were 16 Germans in the camp.
De feito había 30 alemáns, pero, dado que puideron marcharse e ir fóra do campo, dividíronse en dous e, en xeral, cando decidimos a revolta, había 16 alemáns presentes.
