A. NI-13513, 13513. [Prosecution
Exhibit 1938.] It is a letter apparently by Mr. Kersten, copies to Mr.
Frank-Fahle, Weister and Dr. Ritter. I don't understand that letter. This other
letter of Dr. Wolff directed to me —
Q. Is that
NI-13528? [Prosecution Exhibit 1939.]
A.
Yes. This letter of Dr. Wolff directed to me of 24 September 1936 refers to a
letter that he wrote to Geheimrat Schmitz and which he attaches. In that letter
he says that he had not received any reply, and he asks me whether I can name a
gentleman to him who would be ready and suitable to advise Wolff in regard to
contracts that might be concluded with the Montan Gesellschaft. I received an
inquiry from Mr. Wolff. He knew me. Why shouldn't he ask me? And I probably
named Director Buhl as an expert in these things who had business with the
Montan Gesellschaft. I don't know what I answered him. That was that. It is a
little difficult for me to peruse such a large number of letters, but I can say
generally, they are letters —
Q. Are you referring to the document
NI-13533 [Prosecution Exhibit 1937] now?
A. The number is illegible now.
Q. Is that the letter of 17
October 1938, the first page?
A. Yes, 17 October 1938.
Q. Go
right ahead.
A. It is a letter of Dr. Ambros to Dr. Krauch. That does
not interest me. I don't know what is in it. Then there is the thread running
through all these letters; the question, the request for making people
available for plant leaders, for directing plants. Dr. Mueller probably had the
important task to construct a number of stand-by plants, for which tasks he
needed personnel.
Q. Dr. Gajewski, do these documents sufficiently
refresh your recollection, is there anything further you want to say about
them?
A. Well, I can only reiterate that these are requests of Mr.
Mueller's for certain personnel. For instance, Dr. Osterburg inquired with me
whether I agreed, and I did have misgivings because he didn't have enough
people. He then in turn replied to me that he could nevertheless help and make
further people available. That is the way I understand it now.
Q. Would
you please look at page — German page 6, that letter of Dr. Ambros's,
February 21, 1939, that is page 3 of the English, the one that is addressed to
Dr. Krauch that you just mentioned now. Would you please tell me whether up in
the right-hand corner, whether that is your initial on top of that letter; that
"G," is that your initial, right above?
A. Yes, yes, I overlooked that,
that is right. But I don't know |
