Q. Well maybe I can refresh your memory. May I offer in evidence the Document NI-14306?

PRESIDING JUDGE SHAKE: Just a moment. You'd better give that a number.

MR. CHARMATZ: I'm sorry. I marked it as Exhibit 1959,¹ Your Honor.

PRESIDING JUDGE SHAKE: Thank you.

MR. CHARMATZ: Will you please notice the distribution list, and then, on page 2, the item 2? Has this refreshed your memory, Dr. Buergin, that you were aware of the importance of the plants of the Works Combine Central Germany for the production of armament products and the so-called K and L products?

A. Even after having seen the document I can't remember this incident.

MR. CHARMATZ: Well, that will be sufficient.

MR. SPRECHER: Now we have a few questions concerning mobilization questions, the Four Year Plan, and the chemical plants in Austria which fell under Donauchemie after 1938, where you were the Director General. My questions relate to the period after the occupation of Austria in March 1938, and the outbreak of war in September 1939. During this period, did you take up with Dr. Pohland, of Krauch's office, the project of having Donauchemie erect a sulfuric acid factory at Moosbierbaum?

DEFENDANT KUEHNE: Yes.

Q. Now during this same period, did you agree that the plants at Donauchemie should be included within the general mobilization plan?

A. I cannot recall that, but it might be possible that I pointed out that the sulfuric acid plant could be necessary for the new rayon industry which was being set up there.

Q. Well, Skoda-Wetzler also had something to do with the production of powder, didn't it? Explosives?

A. No, no.

Q. Didn't the government build a rather large explosive plant a very short distance from IG Moosbierbaum during the war?
