KEITEL: I am no longer in a position to explain that today, in view of the fact that I see hundreds of documents daily. I wrote it and I admit it now.
SIR DAVID MAXWELL-FYFE: Of course, unless it means something entirely different from what you have written, it meant that you approved it yourself and thought the best course was that the relations should be shot by a firing squad.
I think Your Lordship said that you wished to adjourn.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes.
SIR DAVID MAXWELL-FYFE: I am not finished, My Lord. I have a few matters for Monday morning.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, the defendant can return to the dock, and we will proceed with the other applications.
[The defendant left the stand.]
Sir David, shall we deal with these applications in the same way as we have done before?
SIR DAVID MAXWELL-FYFE: Yes, My Lord. The first one that I have is an application on behalf of the Defendant Kaltenbrunner for a witness called Hoess, who was former Commander of the Auschwitz Concentration Camp. My Lord, there is no objection on the part of the Prosecution to that.
THE PRESIDENT: So that is the application which has to be made by a great number of the defendants’ counsel.
