DR. NELTE: Chief?
WESTHOFF: Yes.
DR. NELTE: And you know that such an order was transmitted?
WESTHOFF: General Von Graevenitz brought such an order with him and, as far as I know, the order was also transmitted further.
DR. NELTE: Then you certainly must have known what “Stufe III” meant?
WESTHOFF: No, that I did not know. I have said that I knew only that there was an order to turn over these recaptured prisoners to the Gestapo but I cannot remember details because I never saw a written order.
DR. NELTE: Can you then state that this order, as you see it there before you, was issued by the OKW?
WESTHOFF: No, that I cannot say.
DR. NELTE: Thank you.
THE PRESIDENT: The Tribunal will adjourn.
