whether my collaborators might not [occasionally] call it to his
attention when some of our leading gentlemen abroad came to Germany for a
vacation, as he would be interested to talk to some of them, to which I
agreed."
A. Do you mean the statement I made, where I said quite
clearly a little further, "I don't know, however, whether Major Bloch"?
Q. I direct your attention to a particular paragraph and ask you, is
this your language appearing in that paragraph, "Major Bloch asked me whether
my collaborators might not [occasionally] call it to his attention when some of
our leading gentlemen abroad came to Germany for a vacation, as he would be
interested to talk to some of them, to which I agreed."
A. Yes, that is
completely correct, but you have to read further, then it becomes clear.
PRESIDING JUDGE SHAKE: Counsel, under the practice that this Tribunal
has adopted, when a document is submitted to you, it is thereafter available to
you, and if, after consultation, you find other parts you want the Tribunal to
take into consideration, you will have that opportunity.
DEFENDANT
ILGNER: Thank you. |

DR. HELLMUTH DIX (counsel for defendant Schneider): I now turn to
the paragraph entitled, "Counterintelligence" [Abwehr], in which the
prosecution charges you with the intelligence work of Farben, together with
OKW. You became main counterintelligence delegate [Hauptabwehrbeauftragter] of
Farben in 1940, so that the prewar years are insignificant for your activity in
regard to this particular charge of the prosecution in regard to preparations
for a war of aggression.
In book 8, I offered Schneider Defense
Exhibits 23 through 27 in regard to this problem. One of them, Exhibit
25,² is an exhibit of the prosecution a document of the prosecution
which was not offered, and which the prosecution was kind enough to make
available to me. |
__________ ¹ Complete testimony
recorded in mimeographed transcript, 18, 19, 20, 24 February 1948, pp.
7121-7524 ² This exhibit, (NI-10422), an affidavit by Albrecht Pock,
is not reproduced herein. The affidavit was obtained originally by an
interrogator of the prosecution, but the prosecution dill not offer it in
evidence.
