these people. We did not make a square loot of aerial film at
Landsberg.
Q. Now, Dr. Gajewski, do I understand you to say that you
intended to deceive the Wehrmacht with respect to the purpose of construction
of this plant?
A. Well, "deceive" is a wrong term. Let's call it
"window dressing."
Q. Well, would that have been sabotage in the German
Reich? A. One could interpret it that way. In one case, you say I should have
committed sabotage; and in another case, you say I wasn't supposed to commit
sabotage. I am of the opinion that that was just a pretext. We didn't make one
square meter less of aerial film for the Wehrmacht; we were able to produce it
all at Wolfen. |
