THE PRESIDENT: You have an opportunity of re-examining the witness.
DR. SIEMERS: Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: Then why do you interrupt?
DR. SIEMERS: Because Colonel Phillimore has interrupted the answer of the witness and I believe that even in cross-examination the answer of the witness must be at least heard.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, the Tribunal does not agree with you.
COL. PHILLIMORE: My Lord, I understood him to have already made some point that the defendant made once? I only interrupted him when he sought to make it again.
[Turning to the witness.] I put my question once again. When you signed the order sending this document on to lower commanders, did it occur to you then that these men would probably be shot?
WAGNER: The possibility that these people who were turned over to the SD might be shot was clear to me.
COL. PHILLIMORE: Was it also...
WAGNER: I have not finished yet. But only those people who had not been captured by the Wehrmacht were to be handed over to the SD.
