however, that this is envisaged insofar as raw materials procurement
is concerned. Would you please once more clarify how, as far as you know, the
practical handling of that matter was? Did the DAG in practice make use of
Vermittlungsstelle-W?
A. I can give you no exact information on that. I
can only repeat what I already said this morning. I said that from the
documents which were submitted by the prosecution and which are numerous
letters and circulars and reports about discussions, I would conclude that DAG
did not make use of the Vermittlungsstelle-W, and if they did, only in
exceptional cases. That is all I can say.
Q. Do you know, Dr. ter Meer,
whether the DAG had its own similar office in Berlin, similar to
Vermittlungsstelle-W?
A. I know that. I know that DAG had an office in
Berlin, and an affidavit of a certain Mr. Ringleb* who worked in that office
has been submitted here. |
