A. In the engine construction shop 8.
Q. In which camp?
A. Number 3 Hafenstrasse.
Q. Who owned or operated this
Maschinenbau 8?
A. Krupp.
JUDGE DALY, Presiding: What was the
camp's name?
MR. MYERS: H-a-f-e-n-s-t-r-a-s-s-e, is that correct?
THE INTERPRETER Yes.
MR. MYERS: Now, you continued to work then
in Essen how long?
A. Beginning 30 November 1942, to 13 December 1943.
Q. And all this time did you work in Essen?
A. Yes.
Q.
I believe you got permission to go home one time, did you not?
A.
Nobody knew about it. I knew an officer at home.
Q. I am speaking about
receiving a cable and getting permission to go home.
A. Yes, I got a
telegram.
Q. Will you state the circumstances of that incident?
A. I received a telegram that a sister of my mother had died, and I
showed it to my foreman. He told me that wasn’t possible. So I took an
interpreter and went to the main office and he settled it for me, and I went
home.
Q. You got home and you were supposed to go back to the factory,
is that correct?
A. Yes.
Q. You were told to go back to the
factory after your leave had expired, is that right?
A. Yes, yes.
Q. But did you do that?
A. I didn't go back.
Q. What
happened then?
A. At the request of Krupp I was called to the police
and was told I should be in Muelheim by the 8th.
MR. MYERS: The latter
part of the answer I didn't understand.
THE INTERPRETER: At the request
of Krupp I was called to the police and was told I should be in Muelheim by the
8th.
MR. MYERS: You say, Witness, that it was at the request of Krupp.
What makes you believe so, or what makes you know that it was a fact?
WITNESS BRANDEJS: I know that because my father speaks German well and
he read it out to me and I got that by mail. |
