Funk answered: “Yes, certainly.”
“Question: ‘And you never objected to that, I take it?’ ”
Funk answered:
“No, why should I have objected? It was somebody else’s task to bring these foreign workers into the Reich.
“Did you believe it was legal to take people against their will from their homes and bring them into Germany?” was the last question that I want to quote to you. He answered: “Well, many things happen in wartime which aren’t strictly legal. I have never racked my brains about that.”
Now, if you know that to be his attitude from his statements made under oath on an interrogation here, would that change your view about Funk and would it cause you to change the testimony which you have given before the Tribunal here today?
HAYLER: I can testify only to those things which I myself know. I cannot remember any such statements by Funk. I do know and I remember distinctly that we frequently spoke about the occupied territories, about the later development in Europe which was to, and could, result from co-operation. We also spoke about the procuring of workers and that Funk fundamentally had a viewpoint different from the one that prevailed and that he was not in agreement with these things. I can merely repeat this and if you question me here as a witness, I can say only what I know.
MR. DODD: Did you go over all of your questions and answers with Dr. Sauter before you took the stand? You knew what you were going to be asked when you came here, didn’t you?
HAYLER: Dr. Sauter gave me an idea what he would question me about and what he was interested in.
MR. DODD: I have no further questions.
