THE PRESIDENT: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Dr. Kranzbühler, the Tribunal thinks that the witness oughtn’t to express opinions of this sort. He ought to give us the evidence of any facts which he has. He is telling us in his opinion it is impossible that a naval commander would ever bring his submarine up within 50 yards of another vessel.
FLOTTENRICHTER KRANZBÜHLER: Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: That is not a matter for him to say.
FLOTTENRICHTER KRANZBÜHLER: Mr. President, I was going to ask the witness next whether German U-boats used shells filled with wire as stated by the witness McAllister. Is that question admissible?
THE PRESIDENT: Shells filled with wire?
FLOTTENRICHTER KRANZBÜHLER: Yes, that is the question I want to put.
Will you answer that question, Witness.
GODT: There were no such shells.
FLOTTENRICHTER KRANZBÜHLER: Was this attack by the submarine on the Noreen Mary reported by wireless immediately? Do you know anything about it?
GODT: Do you mean the U-boat commander’s report?
