My Lord, I should like to say that I have no objection, if any of these documents can be obtained, to Dr. Exner’s looking at the documents; on that point to which the Prosecution attached importance, I thought it right—and I know my colleagues desired it—that I should make our position clear.
THE PRESIDENT: That concludes your address, Dr. Exner, does it?
DR. EXNER: May I add something concerning the last point. I am, of course, perfectly aware that those atrocities, as described here, cannot be justified by the activities of the partisans, but the more violent the actions of the partisans became, the harsher—of necessity—were the German military countermeasures, so that there is, after all, a connection between these matters.
THE PRESIDENT: The Tribunal will consider your argument.
The Tribunal will now adjourn.
[The Tribunal adjourned until 7 March 1946 at 1000 hours.]
