"In the year 1914 he completed his studies in architecture, was graduated, and soon thereafter became city architect for the city of Aachen" |
| This finding was taken from the affidavit of the defendant, Document NO-1922, Prosecution Ex. 11. Portions of this affidavit which are pertinent to this finding are as follows: |
"Then I studied for two and one-half years at the Munich Technical Academy and proceeded Easter 1910 from Munich to the Aix-la-Chapelle [Aachen] Technical Academy where I passed my examination as an architect in 1914. |
| On Transcript page 3298 of the record, when the defendant was testifying in his own behalf, he testified to the following: |
"In 1914 I was graduated as an architect and a city architect in Aachen." |
| Therefore it may be readily seen that the
statement in the brief of the defendant to the effect that the finding of the
Tribunal on this point was a complete fabrication is entirely unfounded, the
truth being that this conclusion and statement by the Tribunal was taken from
the sworn testimony of the defendant himself. This sort of misrepresentation causes the Tribunal to suspect the integrity and sincerity of many other statements in the briefs filed by defense counsel. The defendant complains that the following passage which occurs on Transcript page 8134 of the judgment, is incorrect and avers that the defendant, in cross-examination, expressly cleared up this matter. This passage is as follows: |
"The defendant as chief of office C II was also head of the main department in charge of general affairs of the Building Inspectorate." |
| In Document NO-1288, Pros. Ex. 44, doc. Book 2, page 83, the following appears: [Page 9 of original] |
