as I understand your answer. Now, did you know Gustav von Bohlen?
A. I met him on two
occasions. The first was his seventieth birthday —
Q. Do you know whether he had any
influence with the high government officials during this period?
A. I cannot judge that in
detail, because the two occasions on which I met him were of a more personal
nature, and not business.
Q. You don’t know. In any of the numerous efforts that you made
with the Krupp officials about production, conferences you had, did any of them
object to your superiors, Speer, Hitler, or anybody else, and express any fear
that they would be put in a concentration camp as a result of your activities?
A. I know of no such
case.
Q. Did they ever
evidence any apprehension about that or say to you that they were being coerced
by fear?
A. No, in no
way.
Q. Now, one further
matter. You mentioned a visit which you made, I think to Breslau, at the
insistence of Hitler, for a conference with some officials of the Krupp firm,
is that correct?
A. Yes,
on 15 October.
Q. October
of what year, Witness?
A.
1943.
Q. What Krupp
officials did you meet there?
A. I know Mr. Reiff was there, but I cannot say in detail who the
others were.
Q. Now, what
was the purpose of that meeting?
A. The setting-up of the working committee for the German weapons
industry. |
