LAHOUSEN: I do not have them on me, but they are available here.
COL. AMEN: And you have refreshed your recollection in reference to those entries?
LAHOUSEN: Yes.
COL. AMEN: What was the purpose of Canaris in keeping such a diary?
LAHOUSEN: As a truthful answer to this question I must repeat what Canaris himself said to me on this subject:
“The purpose and intention of this diary is to portray to the German people and to the world, at some future date, the leaders who are now guiding the fate of their nation.”
COL. AMEN: Now, do you recall attending conferences with Canaris at the Führer’s headquarters, just prior to the fall of Warsaw?
LAHOUSEN: Canaris and I took part in discussions not in the Führer’s headquarters, but in the Führer’s special train, shortly before the fall of Warsaw.
COL. AMEN: And having refreshed your recollection from reference to the entries in Canaris’ diary, can you tell the Tribunal the date of those conferences?
LAHOUSEN: According to the notes and documents at my disposal it was on September 12, 1939.
