because no other means of billeting them were available. Q. Did the SS Race and Settlement Office participate in these actions against Slovenes? A. I believe that a selection of people eligible for re-Germanization was in part carried out, but I don't believe it was done with everybody. Q. Did VoMi participate in these acts? A. Yes, insofar as they placed the camps at its disposal, as far as they were available. Q. Are you familiar with the actions against the partisans, or as they were called at that time, bandits — in Yugoslavia? A. Well, without your telling me the exact areas, I couldn't tell you what it was all about. Q. At the time when a borderline of twenty or thirty kilometers was supposed to be occupied by ethnic Germans, partisans came into existence because they had resisted their deportation. Can you remember that? A. Yes. I know that partisans came into existence in those areas of Lower Styria and Upper Carniola, to some extent in connection with the deportations. Q. Do you know what happened to those partisans if they were caught? A. According to my knowledge although I wasn't working in the executive office there, partisans were treated exactly the same way as partisans of all other territories. |
