A. Yes; in many ways.
Q. When the documents mention
negotiations about the demarcation line between the occupied and unoccupied
territory of France, does that merely have a political significance or also an
economic significance?
A. It has an economic significance to a very
considerable degree. I might state that the economic significance was even more
important than the political one.
Q. And in what respect, from an
economic point of view?
A. With respect to the entire traffic of goods;
and with respect to the economy in the occupied territory on the one hand, and
the unoccupied territory on the other.
Q. This export has already been
discussed. Did Francolor, or did these plants of Francolor located in the
occupied territory when the contract was concluded, possess any stocks of raw
materials of dyestuffs?
A. Yes, considerable stocks.
Q. Was it
of interest to Farben economically that, in case a contract was concluded,
Francolor should have stocks of dyestuffs?
A. One might well say that.
DR. SIEMERS: I have no further questions. |

PRESIDING JUDGE SHAKE: Anything further from defense? Anything from
the prosecution?
MR. NEWMAN. I have no question in re-cross. I gave to
the defendant and defense counsel one document, before the luncheon recess,
which I would now like to introduce. This is NI-15220, and it may go in as Prosecution Exhibit
2153.* This is the Defendant Kugler's letter to Defendant von Schnitzler, of 12
May 1941. It is being introduced with reference to what this defendant
testified on, in redirect, in connection with our Exhibit 2143 which was
introduced yesterday. I particularly refer to page 2 of both the English and
the German mimeographed copies, item Number 6 of the document.
PRESIDING JUDGE SHAKE: Just a moment, Dr. Newman. That is Document
14220?
MR. NEWMAN: 15220.
PRESIDING JUDGE SHAKE: And it is your
Exhibit 2153.
MR. NEWMAN: Exhibit 2153
PRESIDING JUDGE SHAKE:
Very well.
DR. VON KRAFFT: Your Honor, it is true that Mr. Newman
informally handed this document to me. I do want to raise the question,
however, whether it is admissible to introduce this document now, after the
examination has been concluded. For that reason I should like to object to the
introduction of that document. |
