“Owing to the rapid advance of the allies, who were approaching Aachen, all the prisoners of Brauweiler were taken to Cologne. . . .”
[Dr. Stahmer approached the lectern.]
M. DUBOST: Mr. President, before allowing the Defense Counsel to interrupt, permit me to finish reading this document.
THE PRESIDENT: Continue.
M. DUBOST: Thank you, Mr. President. With the end of this paragraph the Tribunal learns that the German military authorities themselves took steps in order to learn the fate of these prisoners:
“The military authorities having no knowledge thereof, immediately undertook correspondence with Buchenwald, correspondence which remained without answer.”
And again:
“At the beginning of March, Major Bramkamp, chief of the Abwehr group, had to go personally to Buchenwald. . . .”
On Pages 120-121 the Tribunal will find the list of the prisoners who thus disappeared.
