of know-how with respect to oil is a fair description of the way
Farben handled the exchange of experience with respect to buna, particularly
during the period after the government orders prohibiting the giving of
know-how were issued.
A. I assume that you mean that in the oil field
experience was given after the war broke out, but that was not the case in the
buna field. There is a difference there.
Q. I do not mean that, Dr. ter
Meer. If you read part of that, it says: Up to now we have carried this
exchange of know-how out in such a way that from our side we have only sent
reports which seemed unobjectionable to us after consultation with the OKW and
Reich Ministry of Economics, and which contained only such technical data as
concerned facts which are known or out of date according to the latest stand.
In this way we have managed the handling of the agreements so that in general
the German economy remained at an advantage.
In order to maintain
the contact with neutral countries abroad and the oil companies located there,
we consider it expedient to continue this exchange of know-how in the form
drawn up, retaining, on our part, the guiding principle that under no
circumstances must any know-how of military or military-political importance
get abroad in this way.
I merely ask you this, whether that
statement which I just read is a fair description of the way in which Farben
handled the exchange of buna, exchange of experience with respect to buna,
during the period after June 1935?
A. No. These things have nothing to
do with each other. |

MR. AMCHAN: Dr. Gajewski, you heard Dr. von Knieriem and Dr. ter
Meer testify with respect to the appointment of Herr Merbeck, M-e-r-b-e-c-k, to
the counterintelligence unit of the Vermittlungsstelle W. Now, I ask you, is it
not a fact that you also approved that appointment?
DEFENDANT GAJEWSKI:
Possibly; I don't know.
Q. Did you know at that time that Mr. Merbeck
was a member of the Gestapo? |
