114, 115, 118, 121, 122,
128, 138, 141, 142, 144, 159, as shown to me, are photostats of the original
reports drawn up by Dr. Knobloch in subdepartment IV A I of which I was the
chief. I recognize them as such by the red bordering, discernible on the
photostat, by their size, the types, and partial bordering. I identify the
handwritten initials appearing on the various reports as those of persons
employed with the Reich Security Main Office, but considering that 6 years have
elapsed since, I cannot remember the full names of these persons whose
handwritten initials appear on the documents. From the contents of the
handwritten notes I conclude that these were made by Dr. Knobloch, and moreover
I notice that various parts of the above-mentioned reports are extracted from
the original reports of the Einsatzgruppen to the Reich Security Main Office.
5. On the strength of my position as deputy chief and, later on, chief
of subdepartment IV A 1, I consider myself a competent witness, able to confirm
that the "Operational Situation Reports U.S.S.R." which were published by the
chief of the security police and the security service under file mark IV A 1
were compiled entirely from the original reports of the Einsatzgruppen reaching
my subdepartment by wireless or by letter.
I have read the above
statement consisting of 3 (three) pages in the German language and declare that
it is the full truth to the best of my knowledge and belief. I have had the
opportunity of making alterations and corrections in the above statement. I
made this statement voluntarily without any promise of reward and I was
subjected to no duress or threat whatever.
