| A. It states here 27 May, but I can't say
that precisely, I cannot tell you that at all. Q. Did Aust tell you that he was acting upon his own decision in order to help you? A. Upon his own decision to help me? After all, I went there myself with my wife. I had been sent there by the Administrative Area Headquarters. Q. In the course of the discussions did Aust tell you that he was competent for this matter? A. I don't know that, but I assume he was competent. After all the agency in Brussels wasn't very big. Q. Didn't you on your own initiative make the suggestion that perhaps you would be willing voluntarily to subject yourself to sterilization ? A. That would be the same thing for me as if I volunteered for the gas chamber; how could I make such a suggestion? DR. HEIM: Your Honor, I consider it important and appropriate in order to shorten the trial if I were given the opportunity to recall the witness Aust, who is located in the prison here, and to confront this witness with him. PRESIDING JUDGE WYATT: We can't go on here always with one man saying, "yes I did", and the other man saying, "no, I didn't". DR. HEIM: Your Honor, then I request permission that in the rebuttal of the defense I can recall the witness Aust to the witness stand. PRESIDING JUDGE WYATT: You can do anything but get a denial of what he said which is already done. Any other questions for this witness DR. HEIM: Thank you; I have no further questions. |
