A. Really, I couldn’t give you any indication with respect to
his name.
Q. Did he wear a uniform?
A. Yes.
Q. Was it
an SS uniform?
A. No. I would rather think that he was an officer of
the air force, German Air Force.
Q. Witness, you described the terrible
story of the excrements, and you said that you complained. To whom did you
complain that there were no drugs available?

A. No, I never talked with him.
Q. Did Dr. Weber show you this

A. No.
Q. Did he tell you who set this ratio?
A. No, he only told me that one day as an indication — when I
