COL. PHILLIMORE: What crime did Robert Paul Evans commit, who attacked the Tirpitz in a two-man torpedo?
WAGNER: I am convinced it was proved that he belonged to a sabotage unit, and that besides the purely naval character of the attack on the ship, there were other aspects which marked him as a saboteur.
COL. PHILLIMORE: And you said just now that you did not remember the incident?
WAGNER: Yes.
COL. PHILLIMORE: Will you agree on this, will you agree with me, that if this shooting by the SD was murder, you and Admiral Dönitz and Admiral Raeder, who signed the orders under which this was done, are just as guilty as the men who shot them?
WAGNER: The person who issued the order is responsible for it.
COL. PHILLIMORE: And that person who passed it and approved it; is not that right?
WAGNER: I assume full responsibility for the transmission of this order.
COL. PHILLIMORE: Your Lordship, I have no further questions.
THE PRESIDENT: Colonel Phillimore, D-658 was an old exhibit, was it not?
