You better specify your question.
DR. LATERNSER: Mr. President, up to now the procedure has been that whenever a witness appeared, every Defense Counsel had the opportunity to ask this witness questions which he considered necessary. Are we now going to depart from that?
THE PRESIDENT: I did not ask you to argue the matter; I asked you to specify your questions.
DR. LATERNSER: Very well.
[Turning to the witness.] Witness, were you yourself active in the Eastern campaign?
WESTHOFF: Yes.
DR. LATERNSER: In what capacity?
WESTHOFF: First of all in command of a battalion and then a regiment.
DR. LATERNSER: In what sector was your unit engaged?
WESTHOFF: To begin with, in the Ukraine; later before Leningrad, and then at Staraya-Russa.
