SCHMITZ DEFENSE EXHIBIT 110
 
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.

Moosburg, 11 March 1948  
 
[Signed]: HEINRICH HOFFMANN
