DR. SCHUBERT (counsel for defendant Buergin) : Witness, the
prosecution has offered a number of documents concerning the production of
diglycol. Did you have anything to do with diglycol in the Army Ordnance
Office?
WITNESS EHMANN: Yes, the responsibility was with the Army
Ordnance Office.
Q. For what reason did the Army Ordnance Office
consider the production of diglycol important?
A. Diglycol was a
high-grade, and in some cases, even superior substitute for glycerin, which was
not available in the necessary quantities.
Q. What did the Army
Ordnance Office do in order to promote the production of diglycol?
A.
At the end of 1933 and the beginning of 1934, it was decided that a diglycol
plant was to be set up in the Farben factory at Wolfen.
Q. Do you know
when this plant went into operation? |
