GODT: I remember the case of the Spanish steamer Monte Corbea. Later on I learned that Spain had been promised reparations. I cannot remember now whether I received the information through official channels or whether I just heard it accidentally.
FLOTTENRICHTER KRANZBÜHLER: I should now like to establish the dates of certain orders which I have already presented to the Tribunal. I shall show you Standing Order Number 171, which is on Page 159 of Volume III of the document book. What is the date on which that order was issued?
GODT: I shall have to look at it first.
FLOTTENRICHTER KRANZBÜHLER: Please do.
GODT: That order must have originated in the winter of 1939-1940. Probably 1939.
FLOTTENRICHTER KRANZBÜHLER: On what do you base that conclusion?
GODT: I base it on the reference made in 4a to equipment for depth charges. This was taken for granted at a later stage. I also gather it from the reference made in 5b to the shifting of masts and colored lights, something which was formulated then for the first time.
FLOTTENRICHTER KRANZBÜHLER: Can you tell us the exact month in 1939?
GODT: I assume that it was November.
FLOTTENRICHTER KRANZBÜHLER: I am now going to show you another order, Standing War Order Number 122. It appears on Page 226 in Volume IV of my document book. Up to now all we know is that this order was issued before May 1940. Can you give us a more exact date?
