COL. AMEN: Did each of these conferences take place on the same day?
LAHOUSEN: The discussions in the Führer’s train took place on the same day: September 12, 1939.
COL. AMEN: And was there more than one conference on that day? Were they split into several conferences?
LAHOUSEN: One cannot really call them conferences; they were discussions, conversations, of varying duration.
COL. AMEN: And who was present on this occasion?
LAHOUSEN: Present, regardless of location and time, were the following: Foreign Minister Von Ribbentrop; Keitel, the Chief of the OKW; Jodl, head of the Wehrmacht Operations Staff; Canaris; and myself.
COL. AMEN: Do you see Ribbentrop in this courtroom?
LAHOUSEN: Yes.
COL. AMEN: Will you indicate for the record where he is sitting?
