[The document was handed to the witness.]
I will now read into the record two short passages on Pages 918 and 920. Doctor Frank says:
“I am very glad that I can inform you officially that up to this date we have sent to Germany over 800,000 workers. Only a short time ago you asked for another 140,000. I am happy to inform you officially that, in accordance with our agreement of yesterday, 60 percent of these newly requested workers will be sent by the end of October, and the other 40 percent will be dispatched to the Reich by the end of the year.”
Then I will ask you to pass on to Page 120. There is only one other sentence I want to quote:
“Besides the 140,000, you can count on a further number of workers from the Government General during the coming year, for we will use the Police to get them.”
Does that not imply the use of Draconian police methods in the so-called recruiting of manpower?
BÜHLER: I do not recollect that I was present on that occasion, so I can in no way confirm whether that was said in this way.
MR. COUNSELLOR SMIRNOV: Mr. President, I have no more questions to put to the witness.
THE PRESIDENT: [To Dr. Seidl.] Do you want to re-examine?
DR. SEIDL: I have a few more questions to ask the witness.
