| The selections herein from the
prosecution's case contain only contemporaneous documents dealing with
resettlement of nationals from several countries and contemporaneous
statistical data showing the numbers of persons involved. This documentary
evidence is set forth on pp. 937 to 943. The entire cross-examination of the
defense witness, Guenther Stier, a high official of the Staff Main Office
(RKFDV) appears on pp. 943 to 947. Concerning the broader aspects of the resettlement program, the defense argued that it could not have been a crime for Germans to evacuate foreign nationals during the war. In this connection, the defense alleged that after the termination of belligerency, the U.S.S.R. and Poland evacuated Germans from Germany. This argument was developed in the closing statements for the defendants Greifelt and Lorenz pertinent extracts of which appear on pp. 948 to 954. |
