COL. AMEN: And did you not say to Weninger in Strasbourg in 1936, in words or in substance, the following: “When I am abroad I am ashamed to be a German”? “Yes” or “no.”
STRÖLIN: It was entirely out of the question at that time, since in the year of 1936 I was very proud of the fact that I was a German.
COL. AMEN: And then, do you deny having made that statement to Weninger?
STRÖLIN: I am quite certain that I did not make that statement in the year 1936.
COL. AMEN: When did you make it?
STRÖLIN: I do not recall having made such a statement to Weninger at all, at least not in 1936.
COL. AMEN: When did you make that statement to Weninger or anybody else? In what year did you decide to make statements like that?
STRÖLIN: I cannot recall having made such a statement at all.
COL. AMEN: But you do not deny it?
STRÖLIN: I frankly admit that there was a time when one was no longer proud of Germany.
