BOHLE: I have not the slightest idea of this report by Herr Von Thomsen. This is the first time that I have heard of protests from the Embassy in Washington regarding prohibited connections between Dr. Draeger and the Bund.
COL. AMEN: You know who Thomsen was, do you not?
BOHLE: Thomsen was Chargé d’Affaires in Washington.
COL. AMEN: And you know that from time to time various officials of the Bund came over here and had conferences with representatives of your organization and of the Führer, do you not?
BOHLE: I have heard that they visited the Führer but they did not visit me and we had no conferences of any description.
COL. AMEN: I did not say with you. I said with representatives of your office; perhaps your friend, Mr. Grothe?
BOHLE: That might be possible but I cannot say definitely because he did not report to me on this matter. They could not have discussed any official matters with Grothe, because he knew very well that I completely repudiated the activities of the German Volksbund in America.
COL. AMEN: In any event, however, you accept responsibility for everything which was done in your organization. Correct?
BOHLE: Naturally.
THE PRESIDENT: Do either of the other Chief Prosecutors wish to cross-examine? [There was no response.] Then, Dr. Seidl, you can re-examine if you wish.
