Q. You ate the noon meal without Mr. von Bohlen?
A. Yes.
Q. Approximately when did Mr. von Bohlen join your company?
A.
Shortly before 2 o’clock because then the five of us went to a small table
and listened to the radio news.
Q. When von Bohlen joined your company
was he introduced to you?
A. He was introduced to me as Mr. von Bohlen
or Mr. Krupp von Bohlen. I don't remember exactly. At any rate, I assumed that
he was the oldest son or the son of the house of Krupp von Bohlen.
Q.
Can you today, after all these years, point out this gentlemen when looking at
the defendants?
A. Yes. But quite frankly, I am a little prejudiced
because I know that Mr. von Bohlen is sitting at the left hand side. May I ask
that Mr. von Bohlen rise from his seat? [The defendant rose.] Today he seems
much thinner and much taller than he seemed then. I can't deny that. But his
face is familiar to me and I can remember that it might have been he whom I
met.
Q. What happened when lunch had been finished and Mr. von Bohlen
joined your company and you retired from — from the lunch table?

someone opened a map and we listened to news on the radio.

They followed with their fingers on the map the advance of our troops.

A. Mr. Luebs, the host.

and all those present with the aid of this man followed the advance of German
troops?
