COL. PHILLIMORE: If you look at the document:
“Enemy cutter engaged. Cutter blown up by the enemy. Crew, 2 dead men, 10 prisoners.”
Then look down:
“Führer Order executed by SD.”
That means those 10 men were shot, does it not?
WAGNER: It must mean that.
COL. PHILLIMORE: Yes. Now I just put to you the document that I referred to on the Trondheim episode, D-864. This is an affidavit by a man who was in charge of the SD at Bergen and later at Trondheim, and it is the second paragraph:
“I received the order by teletype letter or radiogram from the Commander of the Security Police and the SD, Oslo, to transfer Evans from Trondheim Missions Hotel to the BDS, Oslo.
“I cannot say who signed the radiogram or the teletype letter from Oslo. I am not sure to whom I transmitted the order, but I think it was to Hauptsturmführer Hollack. I know that the Commanding Admiral of the Norwegian Northern Coast had interrogated Evans himself.”
And then he goes on to deal with Evans’ clothing.
