| A. Well, then it's possible that I wrote to
Schilling. Q. Frau Block suffered from bad memory about your correspondence with Schilling in 1943 as well as 1942, didn't she? A. Yes, I am rather astonished because one would assume that a secretary remembers such things better, but it is, of course, possible to make mistakes if one doesn't have access to the files. I have told you that I cannot testify with any certainty to the details of such correspondence because I had too much correspondence. Q. Well, isn't it possible you supplied material to him in 1944? A. I consider that quite impossible. We have the testimony of Fraeulein von Falkenhayn that the department for fever therapy never gave them any material and, at that time, I no longer had an office in Berlin. However, I must again rely on Fraeulein von Falkenhayn's testimony. I myself was at Pfaffenrode once a month at the most, and I called up once or twice over long distance. Q. I put in Document NO-1755. This will be marked "Prosecution Exhibit 489" for identification. This is a reply from you to Schilling, dated 27 July 1943. This letter speaks about shipping eggs to Schilling, doesn't it? A. Yes, apparently. There must have been plenty of mosquito eggs, so that we could give up some of them. Q. There wasn't as big a shortage as you thought; is that right? DR. FRITZ: Mr. President, I ask that the photostat be shown to the defendant Rose. It is not impossible that it was written by an assistant and initialed "R." I know the signature of Professor Rose, and I think the "R" looks a little different. Perhaps he might be shown the photostat. PRESIDING JUDGE BEALS: Let the photostat be shown to the witness. DEFENDANT ROSE: I must say I do not understand this signature at all. When I signed a letter I signed my name, but I don't think it's very important. |
