of time? I repeat: concrete official information. Do you remember
that?
A. I can say with certainty that up to the outbreak of the
war he did not transmit any official information of the sort.
Q.
Now, Witness, in order to clarify this subject somewhat let me draw your
attention to the second paragraph of your affidavit which I just mentioned.
There you have stated that Dr. Ungewitter repeatedly made utterances to the
effect that Hitler was going to march into Poland. Is it correct, if I say in
this connection that these utterances, as far as you could survey them, were
only personal fears and combinations?
A. Yes.
Q. In another
passage of your affidavit, Witness, you said something else, and I want to put
the following question to you. I am referring to the last-but-one-paragraph. I
quote: “In connection with the discussions about the imminent war, Dr.
Ungewitter also made the remark ...” May I interpret this sentence by
saying the “possibly” imminent war was meant? '
A. Yes.
Q. Then, in that case too, we are merely concerned with assumption and
personal fear, with no concrete official knowledge?
A. Yes.
Q.
In your affidavit, you go on to deal with the question about the removal of
plants from Ludwigshafen and Oppau and the installations to be conducted in
those two plants. Am I correct in assuming that we are concerned with
precautionary measures for an emergency?
A. Yes.
Q. Was the
removal of the plants from Ludwigshafen and Oppau into inner Germany ever
carried out?
A. As far as I know, it was not.
Q. Do you believe
that the opposition to a transfer of these plants, or the prevention of the
transfer of these plants, was initiated mainly by the gentlemen of the I.G.
Farben, without the authorities opposing such a transfer?
A. As far as
I know, we are exclusively concerned with an opposition on the part of the
gentlemen of the I.G.
DR. VON KELLER: Thank you, Witness. I have no
further questions. |
