WAGNER: No.
COL. PHILLIMORE: Well, let me just remind you. Would you look at Document 512-PS.
That is also in that bundle, My Lord, as United States Exhibit 546 (USA-546). It is the second document. According to the last sentence of the Führer Order of 18 October:
“Individual saboteurs can be spared for the time being in order to keep them for interrogation. Importance of this measure was proven in the cases of Glomfjord, the two-man torpedo at Trondheim, and the glider plane at Stavanger, where interrogations resulted in valuable knowledge of enemy intentions.”
And then it goes on to another case, the case of the Geronde.
Do you say that you do not remember the two-man torpedo attack on the Tirpitz in Trondheim Fjord?
WAGNER: No, no. I am not asserting that I do not remember it. I do remember it.
COL. PHILLIMORE: Yes. Did you not see in the Wehrmacht communiqué after that attack what had happened to the man who was captured?
WAGNER: I cannot recall it at the moment.
COL. PHILLIMORE: Let me just remind you. One man was captured, Robert Paul Evans, just as he was getting across the Swedish border, and he was—that attack took place in October 1942—he was executed in January 1943, on 19 January 1943.
