Then Paragraph 4:
“The sabotage attack against German ships off Bordeaux.
“On 12 December ’42, a number of German ships off Bordeaux were seriously damaged by explosives below water-level. The adhesive mines had been fixed by five English sabotage gangs working from canoes. Of the 10 participants the following were arrested after a few days. . . .”
Then there followed six names, six British names—one an Irishman; a lieutenant, a petty officer, a sergeant, and three marines.
“A seventh soldier named Moffett was found drowned; the remainder apparently escaped into Spain.
“The participants proceeded in pairs from a submarine in canoes upstream into the mouth of the River Gironde. They were wearing olive grey special uniforms. After effecting the explosions they sank the boats, and attempted to escape into Spain in civilian clothes, with the assistance of the French civilian population. No special criminal actions during the flight have been discovered. All the arrested, in accordance with orders, were shot on 23 March 1943.”
Keitel initialed that document. That document, read by my learned leader Sir David Maxwell-Fyfe not so long ago, is Document Number 735-PS, quoting Keitel as saying, “I am against legal procedure. It does not work out.”
THE PRESIDENT: Would you read the Page 5 which follows that?
