WESTHOFF: Yes.
DR. NELTE: Did Keitel say on this occasion that you were to conceal anything or to put anything in a false light?
WESTHOFF: No.
DR. NELTE: Was the OKW involved in the composition of the note as it was sent in final form?
WESTHOFF: No.
DR. NELTE: Is it correct that your representative, Lieutenant Colonel Krafft, was ordered by the Foreign Office to attend a meeting in Berchtesgaden for the sole purpose of giving correct information in reply to possible further inquiry by the representative of the Foreign Office, in case the information were demanded?
WESTHOFF: Yes.
DR. NELTE: Is it finally correct that Lieutenant Colonel Krafft reported to you that the Foreign Office had presented a note to Hitler, and Hitler had rejected it and then composed the text himself?
WESTHOFF: So far as I recall, that is right.
DR. NELTE: The second part of the conferences between Keitel, Graevenitz, and Westhoff concerned itself with the question of what action should be taken in the future. You stated in this connection that an order was to be drawn up, and that it was a question of certain spheres of competence that had to be discussed with the Reich Security Main Office. Tell me in this connection what, if anything, did the Reich Security Main Office or Himmler have to do with the administration of prisoners of war?
