I believe that the court has been furnished with another translation of this document. It was distributed separately, and I am not sure that it has reached the Tribunal as yet. At page 18 of the document there is a statement that during the month of the report for May 1942, 275 prisoners were employed at the construction office, 178 for the construction of a new concentration camp. The continuation of the construction work was hampered by the lack of guards. This is contained in the photostat just submitted in evidence, and will in due course reach the Tribunal in translation form.
At. page 20 it is stated that "465 prisoners were employed for the construction office during month of the report", and that is signed by the defendant Klein, as was the previous quotation.
The last document of this document book is NO-2169, page 196, which I offer as Exhibit No. 456, being affidavit of Schwarz.
DR. FITCH: Dr. Fitch for the defendant Klein.
May it please the Court, this document is an affidavit by a man called Schwarz who is in Dachau camp. I suggest, therefore, to accept this affidavit only on condition that counsel will be enabled to cross examine Schwarz.
THE PRESIDENT: The opportunity to call the witness Schwarz for the defense will be afforded.
MR. ROBBINS: I wish only to make a few references about this affidavit. Schwarz stated he was transferred in April 1942 to the concentration camp Wewelsburg, which was mentioned in the previous document as being under the supervision of the defendant Klein, and he said, "There I was subordinated to Hauptstrumfuehrer Haas who in turn was subordinated to Sturmbannfuehrer Klein. Sturmbannfuehrer Klein was the office chief (Amtschef - Bauleiter cross out by Schwarz) of the concern Wewelsburg. The guard for the concentration camp Wewelsburg, where 500 persons were detained, consisted of SS-guard detachments and the detainees consisted of Russian prisoners of war. Jehova's witnesses and also other categories which I do not remember.
Klein was permanently stationed in the castle and made personal surveys of the work and the progress achieved. I remember exactly that in July 1942 I saw a trolley with a number of coffins, and I also know that prisoners perished in this Wewelsburg concern, and that these coffins were intended for these dead prisoners. I know that in this camp the provisioning of the prisoners was very bad, and that the prisoners looked and in fact were very undernourished." He goes ahead and states that there was a large death rate at Wewelsburg. He said: "The causes of death of the prisoners in Wewelsburg were -- l) malnutrition, 2) their being willfully worked to death in the quarry of the penal detachment, and, 3) the extermination of prisoners who were unpopular by order of Sturmbannfuehrer Klein and Hauptsstrumfuehrer Haas".
Mr. Higgins will present the Document Books Nos. 18 and 19.
THE PRESIDENT: Before you leave, Mr. Robbins I would like to ask you a question. Do we know Wewelsburg by another name, or is it identified with any of the camps shown on the map here?
MR. ROBBINS: I am sorry, I am not able to answer that question right now.
THE PRESIDENT: all right.
MR. ROBBINS: I shall determine that, though.
THE PRESIDENT: All right.
MR. HIGGINS (Appearing on behalf of the Prosecution) Your Honors -
THE PRESIDENT: No. 18 Document Book?
MR. HIGGINS: Yes sir, Your Honor. If the Tribunal please, I would like to offer into evidence at this time the documentary contents in Document Book No. 18. The subject matter of this Book is concerned with the extermination of the Jews, and is Part--A of that subject; Book 19 being part III, a continuation of this Book. During the course of this presentation I believe I can say the answer to Your Honor's question asked Mr. Robbins on the nature of "Action Reinhardt" will he answered, and these documents contained in the Books now to be presented will be treated in quite great detail.
JUDGE MUSMANNO: Mr. Higgins, I presume without reading verbatim each document, you will give us a fairly good idea of the contents, will you?
MR. HIGGINS: I expect to, Your Honor.
I offer Document NO-2610 on page 1 of the Document Book No. 18 as Prosecution's Exhibit No. 457. This document is an extract from the judgment of the International Military Tribunal, Case No. I, which in dealing with the extermination of the Jews lays the background for the material of this subject to be presented here. I should like an opportunity to read certain sections of this report which directly concerns the matters on which we are here interested. In speaking the Prosecution -
MR. PRESIDENT: Mr. Higgins, I am sure we all read the IMT judgment in its entirety, and I don't think it will be necessary to call our attention to any of the matters that are in it.
MR. HIGGINS: Very well, Your Honor.
The next document which I am about to present is Document No. 3363-PS, and I am not sure that document has been distributed at this time. I should like then, if Your Honor please, to reserve Prosecution's exhibit number 458 for that document.
On page 7 of the English Document Book, I should like to offer Document No. 710 as Prosecution's Exhibit No. 459. This is Goering's letter of 31 July 1941, which charges Heydrich with the job of bringing about a complete solution of the Jewish question. This letter is short and extremely important, and, therefore, I would like to read the first paragraph of it. "Complementing the task that was assigned to you on 24 January 1939, which dealt with arriving at -through furtherance of emigration and evaluation of a solution of the Jewish problem, as advantageous as possible, I hereby charge you with making all necessary preparations in regard to organizational and financial matters for bringing about a complete solution of the Jewish question in the German sphere of influence in Europe."
If Your Honor please, the translation of that letter and in noting the phrase "Solution of the Jewish problem" means solely the extermination of the Jews in this particular sphere of influence in Europe. Heydrich here is being charged by Goering with the extermination of the Jews in this territory.
DR. SEIDL: Dr. Seidl, representing the defendant Oswald Pohl:
May it please the Court, in regard to the conclusion that is drawn by the Prosecution from Document No. 459, I must meet the request here that the Prosecution should also submit the decree of 24 January 1939 to which Goering refers in his letter to Heydrich of 1941 - July 1941. That the letter, from a time before the war, by the contents of the decree of 24 January 1939, will show and make clear the letter of 24 July 1941, which is offered as Exhibit No. 459, and identify the conclusion which the Prosecution has expressed itself, and now basing itself on this letter here.
THE PRESIDENT: The other document referred to, the decree of 1939, is a part of the record in the IMT, is it not?
DR. SEIDL: As far as I know, that decree of January 1939 has not been submitted so far anywhere.
THE PRESIDENT: I know, but is it not in the record in the international trial?
DR. SEIDL: No, not so far as I know. It is not part of the record of the IMT trial. That is the reason I make this request here.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, if that decree of 1939 is available it will be produced.
MR. HIGGINS: I offer on Page 8 of the English Document Book document NO 3663, as Exhibit 460. This document serves to indicate that the action previously referred to as demanded by Goering was taken. The Reich Minister for Occupied Eastern Territories wants to know why the Reich Commissioner for the East has forbidden the execution of Jews by Heydric's RSHA in Lublin.
In his reply the Reich Commissioner for the East states, on Page 9 of the English Document Book:
"I have forbidden the wild executions of Jews in Libau because they were not justifiable in the manner in which they were carried out.
"I should like to be informed whether your inquiry of 31 October is to be regarded as a directive to liquidate all Jews in the East. Shall this take place without regard to age and sex and economic interests (of the Wehrmacht, for instance, in specialists in the armament industry? Of course, the cleansing of the East of Jews is a necessary task; its solution, however, must be harmonized with the necessities of war production."
On Page 10 of the English Document Book I should like to offer 3666-PS as Prosecution Exhibit 461. In his reply to the Reich Commissioner's question, submitted on 15 December, the Reich Minister states that, "Economic considerations should fundamentally remain unconsidered in the settlement of the problem."
In other words, the Jews are to be slaughtered irrespective of their value to the German Reich as skilled and essential workers. Furthermore, it is stated in this letter that the Reich Commissioner hereafter is to take his problems to the Higher SS and Police Leader in his area.
At Page 11 of the English Document Book I should like to offer 1104-PS as Exhibit 462. In this exchange of letters the Commissioner General for White Ruthenia on 1 November 1941 reported an incident involving the attempt by a police officer to buy gold through a personal transaction from Jews who had been subjected to a special action. In addition, it is reported that the person involved in this deal liquidated the persons from whom the gold was taken.
The basic letter, which is contained on Page 13, is from the Commissioner General to the Reich Commissioner and complains that the independent action of this specific police battalion, namely Police Battalion Number 11, in carrying out the arbitrary slaughter of Jews in White Ruthenia is "a base and filthy action" and causes great harm to the German Reich in this area.
On Page 14 is contained a report of the incident, as submitted by the Commissioner of Sluzk. This report demands that action be taken by the highest authority in this respect. It is suggested that those who are responsible for the arbitrary slaughter of Jews reported here be disciplined.
Another letter; 21 November 1941, which is contained on Page 11, passes this correspondence to a functionary of the Ministry of the Reich.
On Page 17 of the English Document Book, I offer 3237-PS as Prosecution Exhibit 463. This is a report of the Inspector General in Charge of Armament in the Ukraine to the Chief of the Industrial Armament Department. It is dated 2 December 1941. The originator of this letter states that a planned murder campaign against the Jews is moving from the East to the West and is carried out in the main by the Order Police.
On Page 19 of this book it is pointed out that "150,000 to 200,000 Jews have perished as a result of this action in the past five months". The writer of this report voices fear of economic repercussions as a result of this wholesale extermination plan. In this respect he states, on Page 20 of the English Document Book, and I quote:
"If we shoot the Jews, let the prisoners of war perish, condemn considerable parts of the urban population to death by starvation and also lose a part of the farming population by hunger during the next year, the question remains unanswered: Who in all the world is then supposed to produce economic values here? In view of the manpower bottleneck in the German Reich there is no doubt that the necessary number of Germans will not be available either now or in the near future. However, if the Ukrainian is supposed to work, he has to be maintained physically, not due to sentiment but due to very sober economic considerations."
On Page 22 of the English Document Book I should like to offer 2620-PS as Prosecution Exhibit 464. This document is the affidavit of Otto Ohlendorf, Chief of the Security Service in the SD. His affidavit contains an account of his activities after his appointment as Chief of the Einsatzgruppen. The mission of this group was to exterminate Jews and Communist functionaries upon the invasion of Russia by the Germany army, and, speaking of the persons exterminated through this action, he states that, "approximately 90,000 men, women and children" had been brought to extinction. The affidavit proceeds then to describe the manner in which these executions were carried out.
I am not sure, Your Honors, that the next document is in your book. The document that should come at this point is 2223 PS.
THE PRESIDENT: It is not in our book. Will you reserve the next Exhibit Number for it, 465?
MR. HIGGINS: Yes, I shall.
THE PRESIDENT: The Tribunal will be in recess.
THE MARSHAL: The Tribunal is in recess for 15 minutes.
(A recess was taken)
THE MARSHAL: Tribunal No. 2 is again in session.
MR. HIGGINS: Continuing with the Prosecution's proof, I would like to offer Document 1643-PS, as Prosecution Exhibit 465.
THE PRESIDENT: I thought you reserved that for 2223-PS.
MR. HIGGINS: Thank you. I have overlooked that. I would like to offer Document 1643-PS as Exhibit 466. This document consists of a digest of four letters written by various responsible officials concerning the plans for the enlargement of the Auschwitz concentration camp. The prosecution is primilary interested in the second letter presented here, which is a letter written by defendant Pohl to the Reich Minister of Finance on the 7 of November 1942. In this letter he suggests the means to be employed in acquiring property necessary for the camp 's expension. He concludes by stating that the authorities concerned should meet for a discussion on the subject. I would like to state that the reasons for these measures are obvious. At this period great hoards of Jews and other considered racially inferior were flowing to Auschwitz for internment and for extermination and the present, or rather, the facilities existing at that time in the camp were just not great enough to take care of this increase influx, so, therefore, it was necessary to think about the enlargment of the concentration camp. I would like to state that this present document was introduced in the International Military Tribunal as Exhibit USA-713 in its entirety The document here before us is simply a digest of letters written. However the Exhibit as introduced in the first trial was the entire record so that exhibit will be introduced here.
On page 27 of the English Document book, I should like to offer Document 3311-PS as Prosecution Exhibit 467. This document was also introduced in evidence at the trial before the International Military Tribunal as Exhibit 293. This document entitled "Charge No. 6 Camp of treblinka" is an official release of the Polish Government submitted to the IMT and concerns the extermination of Jews in the Treblinka murder plant. On page 28 of the English Document book, it is stated, "The erection of this camp was closely connected with the German plans aiming destruction of the Jewish population in Poland which necessitated the creation of a machinerie by means of which the polish Jews could be killed in large numbers.
Late in April 1942, the erection of the first three chambers was finished in with these general massacres were to be performed by means of steam. Somewhat later, the erection of the real death building" was finished which contains ten death chambers. It was opened for whole sale murders in the summer of 1942. "The tragic account of the mass extermination of hundreds of thousands of Jews is here told. The horrors prevailing in the camps are graphically set out on page 31 of the English Document where it is stated, I quote: "It is practically impossible to imagine the sufferings of the victims in the camp and to grasp the full extent of the atrocities. For the victims transported to the camp in cattle trucks and exposed for several days to the most cruel sufferings of body and soul, death in the steam chambers must have almost come as a welcome relief. Their only crime consisted in the fact of belonging to a race condemned by Hitler to death."
On page 33 of the English Document Book, I offer Document 1553PS as Exhibit 468.
DR. SEIDL (Attorney for the defendant Oswald Pohl): Your Honors: I wish to raise an objection about the admissibility of this document 1553. This is a declaration made by a man Kurt Gerstein signed 29 April 1945. As it can be seen from the statement it was not sworn to. The witness at that date simply said and I shall quote: I am ready to swear to this Document that all my statements are true and correct." In reality however, as can be seen from the document, he did not swear to this document and therefore it does not live up to the necessities which apply to the rules of the Tribunal that such a statement should be considered and admitted as an affidavit.
MR. HiGGINS: If your Honors please, I should like to point out in this connection with this document that it was introduced as an exhibit in the International Military Tribunal as well as being introduced in evidence in the medical case, Tribunal No. 1 I believe it should be admitted on the basis of the previous history on the document having accepted to these two Tribunals.
DR. SEIDL: Your Honors, I would like to answer the following to this. This document was admitted in the former trials while they reserved themselves the right that the prosecution would introduce this man as a witness in order to cross-examine him and defense also made certain application to that effect. The Secretary-General of the International Military Tribunal and further the secretary general of these military tribunals now, investigations have been carried out with reference to this Gerstein and the following facts have been procured that this Gerstein has disappeared without leaving any trace since May, 1945 I have an information here from the secretary general and from the 11th of April 1947 from which this fact can be seen. I shall take the liberty now, to show or to introduce you to the information which I have received from the Secretary General so that the Tribunal can take knowledge of it.
THE PRESIDENT: Was this witness present in person at either trial? The International Military Tribunal or Tribunal No. 1?
DR. SEIDL: This witness has never been examined before a Tribunal, neither by the IMT nor before the medical case, Tribunal No 1 that is the prosecution would try to find the witness and the Secretary General helped us in that respect. As a result since the witness disappeared since May, 1945, one must assume on the basis of this statement that this could be a play boy perhaps or there must be some other reason which makes it impossible for him to appear before the Tribunal. In other words, seeing that the prerequisites are not justified under which such a statement would have been admitted by the Military Tribunal, I am of the opinion that a further admission of this document before this Tribunal is not possible as it is now clearly shown that this witness is no longer available.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, the exhibit consists of two parts. The first is, I believe, a record of shipments of certain chemicals and the second part an unsworn statement by the witness gerstein.
THE PRESIDENT: The exhibit consists of two parts, the first apparently a record of shipments of certain chemicals; the second part is an unsworn statement by the witness Gerstein.
DR. SEIDL: In our German document book, Your Honors, we first have the statement which was not sworn to by Kurt Gerstein. My objection is only restricted to the admission of that statement by Kurt Gerstein. I have no objections with reference to the other documents which are connected with this one.
THE PRESIDENT: Then without objection the first eleven pages, which are copies of shipping records, will be admitted.
MR. HIGGINS: In Your Honors please, we have the photostat of the original here, the exhibit, and it appears from this that it is part of an official report compiled by the Consolidated Advance Field Team Number 7. The photostat shows it was directed to the CIOS Secretariat, Shaef, and from all appearances, according to this photostat which I should like to submit for your scrutiny, I am of the opinion that it would be admissible as an official report.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, it was an official captured document?
MR. HIGGINS: That's right, Your Honor. No, an official report. In other words, it appears that this team was directed to secure information pertinent to this subject, and as a result the testimony of the subject affiant was taken and is compiled here.
THE PRESIDENT: You mean an official United States investigating team?
MR. HIGGINS: That's right, Your Honor.
DR. SEIDL: Your Honor, I should like to add to the prosecution's statement the following. It is correct that there is a remark of the Consolidated Advance Team prior to the remark. However, from the whole document it results that this is not an official government report of the United States as it should be according to Ordinance Number 7, and it could be admitted in this Court according to this ordinance. It can be seen clearly from the whole statement that the witness Kurt Gerstein just by mistake or just by chance spoke to this Consolidated Team man and that he made a statement to him and that, furthermore, this investigational report is nothing but a remark or an addition to the statement of Kurt Gerstein.
The statement by Kurt Gerstein, according to my opinion, cannot become an official report of the United Nations unless it is accompanied by a containing letter.
I must apply here for the fact that only such governmental reports be admitted which are really based on actual investigations of the commission in charge and that it is not admissible that every statement which is not sworn to becomes an official government report when an opinion is added to it.
MR. ROBBINS: May I say, Your Honor, that Ordinance Number 7 does not require a statement to be sworn to. It only requires the Court to determine that the statement has some probative value. I think the fact that it was signed before an army officer and was taken in the course of an army investigation, added to the fact that the bills attached to the statement are addressed to the witness Gerstein and the fact that it was accepted by the other two tribunals, give the statement some probative value, and the Court should, therefore, take it for whatever it is worth.
THE PRESIDENT: What was the situation before the IMT? Was this document admitted in evidence as part of the proof?
MR. HIGGINS: I contacted the office of Mr. Reymon, who is in charge of the documents, and was informed that this document had been introduced into evidence as Exhibit Number 350.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, but was it received in evidence? Was it admissible?
MR. HIGGINS: I was under the impression that it was, Your Honor.
THE PRESIDENT: Dr. Seidl was present at that trial and he says not.
MR. ROBBINS: I don't believe Dr. Seidl said that it wasn't. I think he agreed that it was.
DR. SEIDL: Your Honor, according to my recollection the document was admitted in evidence before the International Military Tribunal, not as an official government report, though, but only while reserving the right that the prosecution would he in a position to bring the witness Kurt Gerstein as a witness:
in other words, it was assumed that they could.
THE PRESIDENT: They never did? They never did bring the witness?
DR. SEIDL: Yes - well, they tried to get the witness.
THE PRESIDENT: But they didn't?
DR. SEIDL: No, he wasn't brought, and then apparently it was forgotten to refer to this document again before the International Military Tribunal and to make application that the admissibility of this document not be granted.
THE PRESIDENT: Your recollection is that it was admitted provided the witness was produced later?
DR. SEIDL: Yes, Your Honor, That's the thing I can still remember, Your Honor, that's all.
THE TRIBUNAL (JUDGE MUSMANNO): Do you know whether the Court in its eventual decision took any note of this particular document or its contents?
MR. HIGGINS: No, I don't, Your Honor. I don't have that information.
THE PRESIDENT: It isn't referred to in the judgment.
MR. HIGGINS: Upon getting the information that it had been granted an exhibit number by the IMT and introduced into evidence, I just assumed that.
THE PRESIDENT: It could get a number, of course, merely upon being offered, which doesn't mean necessarily that it was received.
MR. ROBBINS: May I suggest that we investigate the ruling of the IMT in Tribunal I before the Court rules on the admissibility?
THE PRESIDENT: Judge Musmanno just made the same suggestion. It might make a difference what action the IMT actually took and perhaps the record ought to be the best evidence of that. We will not admit it at this time, but you may re-offer it later. This applies only, of course, to the latter part of the document containing Gerstein's statement.
The first eleven pages are admitted without objection.
MR. HIGGINS: As is obvious from the face of the first twelve pages, the record consists simply of accounts rendered for the delivery of Zyklon B gas to Obersturmbannfuehrer Gerstein for use in the Auschwitz and Oranienburg camps.
The next document is contained on page 62 of the English document book and is Document NO-482. I should like to offer this as Prosecution Exhibit 469. I should like to make a correction in that. This document has been presented previously in Document Book 4 and was granted admission. As I have stated, this document has been previously introduced in Document Book 4 as Exhibit 79.
It is a series of letters passing between Himmler and the defendant Pohl, concerning the transforming of transient camp of Sobibor in the district of Lublin into a concentration camp. Pohl suggested that the camp remain in its present condition, and this suggestion was accepted by Himmler.
At page 66 of the English Document Book, I offer Document 2376-PS as Prosecution Exhibit No. 469.
DR. SEIDL: Dr. Seidl for the defendant Oswald Pohl. Your Honor, in our document book the document 2367-PS consists of two parts, and in both cases they have statements made of a man by the name of Dr. Mildner. According to the document which I have here, I have to assume that the first statement is not sworn to, and, therefore it cannot be accepted or introduced as an affidavit. (consultation among the counsel at the rostrum) Your Honor I have just found out that in the original, both affidavits were sworn to together by the witness, Dr. Mildner. This can not be seen in our copies. Therefore, I shall withdraw my objection in this connection. However, I make the application that the same as in all the other cases, a document only be admitted while reserving the right of the Prosecution that the defense will produce the witness.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, the document will be admitted with that understanding and limitation. You have seen the two documents, Mr. Higgins?
MR. HIGGINS: Dr. Seidl spoke of two but there is only one document here ---
THE PRESIDENT: Yes.
MR. HIGGINS: --- contained in our English Document Book.
THE PRESIDENT: On the basis of our copy, it does not appear to be sworn to. Can we assume that it is sworn to?
MR. HIGGINS: Yes, Your Honor, the photostatic exhibit stows that it has been sworn to.
THE PRESIDENT: All right.
MR. HIGGINS: This is an affidavit of Rudolf Mildner, one time Colonel of police and commandant of Security Police in Vienna. His presentation of the affidavit discloses the channel through which execution orders were issued. This statement implicates the defendant Pohl. On page 66 of the English Document Book he states: "The concentration camps were under the SS Wirtschafts and Vorwaltunghauptamt in Oranienburg near Berlin. The head was SS Obergruppenfuehrer Pool. He was directly under R.F. SS Himmler. In this bureau all matters concerning concentration camps and prisoners were handled by the Amtsgruppe D. The head of this was SS Gruppenfuehrer Gluecks, who was inspector of all concentration camps. Orders of the R.F. SS Himmler concerning the type of labor employment of the prisoners on the extermination of the Jews, so far as I could gather from conversations with comrads of the Sipo, went directly through Obergruppenfuehrer Pohl, Gruppenfuehrer Gluecks, head of the Amtsgruppe D and the head of the concentration camps as "top secret."
MR. ROBBINS: Your Honor, to keep the record straight, I do not think that Dr. Seidl correctly stated the prior ruling of the Tribunal in regard to the admissibility of the affidavit. I don't believe they have been admitted conditionally, but have been admitted for whatever value they may be, and the defense may apply for bringing the witness to Nurnberg, am I correct in that, Your Honor?
THE PRESIDENT: That is right.
JUDGE MUSMANNO: In three instances the name of "Pool" appears. I presume that is a typographic error?
MR. HIGGINS: Yes, Your Honor.
Document No. 2128 has been previously introduced into evidence, and is shown in Document Book No. 12 as Exhibit No. 331. This document is the Himmler confirmed draft of Pohl's order establishing the SS Economic Administrators with a higher SS and Police leaders in the occupied territories. Mr. Robbins on presenting his material treated this document at great length, so I don't feel that it is necessary to discuss it at this time.
On page 81 of the English Document Book, I would like to offer Document No. 3944-PS, as Prosecutions Exhibit No. 470. It is an affidavit of Emil Puhl, who was vice president of the Reichsbank, and discloses the arrangement made for the receipts of valuables seized by the SS in the East. In writing about the arrangements entered into, Puhl stated, and I quote: "Funk told me that he had arranged with Reichsfuehrer Himmler to have the Reichsbank receive on safe deposit gold and jewels for the SS. Funk directed that I should work out the arrangements with Pohl, who, as head of the Economic Section of the SS, was in charge of the administration of the economic aspects of the concentration camp program."
In paragraph 4 of this document, Puhl goes on and states: "I arranged subsequently with one of the responsible officials in charge of the cash and vault depart ments for receiving the material, and reported the matter to the Board of Directors of the Reichsbank at its next meeting.
Pohl of the Economic Section of the SS, on the same day telephoned me, and asked if I had been advised of the matter. I said I would not discuss it by telephone. He came to see me and reported that the SS had some jewelry on hand for delivery to the Reichsbank for safe keeping. I arranged with him for delivery and from then on deliveries were made from time to time, from August 1942 over the following years."
Document No. 2132 I offer as Prosecution's Exhibit No. 471. It contains the personal record of Max Horn, and includes contents of the record of his employment of labor for the SS and Economic Administrators at Dachau.
Page 85 of the English Document Book I offer the Document NO724 as Prosecution's Exhibit No. 472. This letter of the defendant Frank, dated 26 September 1942, and addressed to officials at Lublin and Auschwitz, lays down regulations for the disposition of property seized from the Jews. Frank in prescribing the procedure had dual desires to conceal the true nature of this loot. In the introductory paragraph Frank stated: "Property which will in all orders in the future be called goods originating from thefts, receiving of stolen goods and hoarded goods." The report paragraph by paragraph states what disposal is to be made of the various items seized through the program of extermination.
Page 89, I note is Document NO-1005, which has been previously introduced in Document Book No. 14 as Prosecutions Exhibit No. 390.
THE PRESIDENT: Three what?
