STRÖLIN: Yes, I intervened with Freisler.
COL. AMEN: And also, at the Ministries of the Interior and Justice in Berlin?
STRÖLIN: I submitted to the Ministry of the Interior a memorandum regarding conditions in Alsace, at the time, in order to have the Alsatians pardoned.
COL. AMEN: And as a result of your efforts, these people received temporary suspension of their sentences; is that correct?
STRÖLIN: Yes. I would like to mention expressly that I asked Herr Von Neurath to intervene and it is due to a letter which he wrote to Hitler that these Alsatians were pardoned.
COL. AMEN: So that this individual, to put it mildly, is under a considerable obligation to you at the present time? Correct?
STRÖLIN: Yes, I imagine so.
COL. AMEN: Well, you saved his life in effect, did you not?
STRÖLIN: I also saved the lives of many others; I do not know if the people are grateful for it or not.
COL. AMEN: Well, in any event, I take it you do not question the truth of what he might report as a conversation with you, correct?
