MR. DODD: Did you know that anything came from concentration camps to the Reichsbank? Anything at all?
FUNK: Yes, the gold, of course. I already said that.
MR. DODD: Gold teeth?
FUNK: I have said that—no.
MR. DODD: What gold from the concentration camps?
FUNK: The gold about which Herr Puhl had reported to me, and I assumed that these were coins and other gold which had to be deposited at the Reichsbank anyway, and which the Reichsbank could utilize according to the legal regulations. Otherwise, I know nothing about it.
MR. DODD: Just what did Himmler say to you and what did you say to Himmler when you had this conversation, as you tell us, about this gold from the concentration camp victims? I think the Tribunal might be interested in that conversation. What did he say, and what did you say, and where was the conversation held?
FUNK: I do not remember any more where the conversation was held. I saw Himmler very rarely, perhaps once or twice. I assume that it was on the occasion of a visit in the field quarters of Lammers, where Himmler’s field quarters were also located. It must have been there. On that occasion we spoke very, very briefly about that.
MR. DODD: Wait just a minute. Will you also tell us when it was?
FUNK: Possibly during the year 1943; it might have been 1944, I do not remember.
