GÖRING: Perhaps two different events took place in Bromberg.
GEN. RUDENKO: It is quite possible.
I pass on to the following question: It is known to you that there was an order by the OKW regarding the branding of Soviet prisoners of war, and what do you think about that?
GÖRING: That order is not known to me, and no representative of the Air Force was present at this preliminary discussion as I have ascertained here from the records.
GEN. RUDENKO: I am interested as to whether you knew about this or not. The orders are quite clear.
GÖRING: No.
GEN. RUDENKO: Do you know that the German High Command ordered that Soviet war prisoners and Soviet citizens had to be used for clearing mine fields and transporting bombs that had not exploded, et cetera? Do you know about that?
GÖRING: I know that Russian prisoners of war who were engineers had to clear the mines which they had laid. To what extent the civilian population was employed for that purpose I do not know, but it was possible.
GEN. RUDENKO: It is quite clear.
Do you know about an order regarding the destruction of the towns of Leningrad, Moscow, and other towns of the Soviet Union?
