BOHLE: By Lieutenant Martin, yes.
LT. COL. GRIFFITH-JONES: Let me read a short extract from the transcript of that interrogation and ask you whether, in fact, it is correct. You were being asked about the information which came back through the Auslands-Organisation.
“Question: ‘He would have to rely on you for his information on matters of that kind?’
“Answer: ‘Not entirely; I think Hess had a great many connections in Hamburg through which he obtained information which he did not relay to me.’
“Question: ‘What were his connections in Hamburg?’
“Answer: ‘The shipping companies.’
“Question: ‘Rather like your Landesgruppenleiter instructions in Romania?’
“Answer: ‘I think he knew a number of people there. I have always been convinced that he knew them.’
“Question: ‘Is that Helferich?’
“Answer: ‘Helferich was one, but then there were many people from whom he received information. I believe from Professor Haushofer, his old teacher, with whom he was very friendly. But he always made it a point not to inform us of anything that concerned the Volksdeutsche; he said, “It is not your affair at all.” ’ ”
