COL. POKROVSKY: Tell us something about your objections. What were your own objections?
LAMMERS: I submitted the question to the Führer at the time whether, if military complications arose, it was necessary to have such a man at all for the East; and, if so, whether Rosenberg was the right man to organize the matters.
COL. POKROVSKY: That was in April 1941?
LAMMERS: I no longer remember; it was in the spring.
COL. POKROVSKY: On orders from Reich Minister Rosenberg, forced labor was introduced, forced labor for the Jewish population of the Eastern regions, on 16 August 1941. Everyone of Jewish origin between the ages of 14 and 60 had to perform forced labor. If they refused to work they were liable to be executed. Do you know about this order or not?
LAMMERS: I did not know of it. I cannot recall it.
COL. POKROVSKY: Take a look at this document and try to remember.
Mr. President, this document is printed on Page 50 of the second part of Göring’s Green Folder, which is already submitted to the Tribunal under Document Number EC-347.
LAMMERS: I cannot remember this document.
COL. POKROVSKY: All right. We will let that go. Take a look at another document. Perhaps your memory will be somewhat better in regard to this document.
