AFFIDAVIT OF HEINRICH HOFFMANN, HITLER'S OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHER,
CONCERNING A STATEMENT OF HITLER AGAINST FARBEN LEADERS |
|
I, the undersigned, hereby declare under oath: I remember having
heard during a conversation in 1943 or 1944 that Hitler made a remark
purporting the following:
"The IG is financially involved in
international entanglements. It is bartering away its patents to America. I
shall make an example of these saboteurs and shall have a number of them, and
not the least important ones either, placed before a firing squad."
I
know that I render myself liable to severe punishment by making false
affidavit, and that this statement is to be submitted as evidence before the
International Tribunal at Nuernberg.
