A. Yes.
Q. How did you know that these people were Russian
prisoners of war?
A. From their uniform.
Q. You had been told
that these people were Russians?
A. Yes, we were told that we were
supposed to receive some Russian prisoners of war.
Q. Did these
prisoners of war work on their own or did they work with the Germans?
A. Yes, they worked with the Germans.
Q. Did certain groups
always work together at the welding jobs?
A. No, one particular group
worked together. Everybody had his assigned place of work and everybody worked
on his own.
Q. You further state that the Russian prisoners of war and
the Italian military internees were used for smaller jobs which did not belong
to the regular work program. What do you understand by that?
A. This is
the way it was. Those prisoners of war who were not sufficiently qualified for
this work, were used for other work which had nothing to do with the armament
program, let’s say, for welding the frames or the shields or window frames
that had been broken. They were used for repair work.
DR. PESCHKE:
Thank you very much. I have no further questions.
DR. POHLE: (counsel
for the defendant von Buelow): I have a few questions. Witness, how many
Italian military internees were employed there?
WITNESS STARK: As I
already stated, I am not able to remember the exact figure because this has
happened quite a while ago. I left some leeway in the figures and I cannot tell
you exactly today how many they were. There may have been perhaps four to eight
in my department or four to six. I can’t say it exactly.
Q. Were
they later given civilian working status?
A. I cannot say.
Q.
Were British prisoners of war working with you?
A. No.
Q. Were
French prisoners of war working with you?
A. No.
DR. POHLE: No
further questions.
COMMISSIONER DIETZ: Any further questions by defense
counsel, if not, does the prosecution have anything further of this witness?
MR. RAGLAND: No redirect, Your Honor.
COMMISSIONER DIETZ: That
being the case the witness may be excused |
