PUHL: Yes. At any rate, the statement on 3 May made during the interrogation was only a more detailed record of what had already been briefly discussed before.
DR. SAUTER: I have the record of your interrogation on 1 May before me; I read through it again today. But as far as I can see, it contains no mention at all of business affairs with the SS. You must be speaking now of another interrogation?
PUHL: Yes.
MR. DODD: Mr. President, I think perhaps I can be helpful in this apparent confusion. The interrogatory which was authorized by the Tribunal was taken on 1 May, but on that same day, and independent of these interrogatories, a member of our staff also interviewed this witness. But it was a separate interview. It wasn’t related to the interrogatory, and I think that is the source of the confusion.
THE PRESIDENT: Very well.
DR. SAUTER: Were you interrogated twice about these transactions with the SS?
PUHL: Yes, twice during the days around 1 May; that is correct.
DR. SAUTER: Do you still remember the affidavit which you signed on 3 May?
PUHL: On 3 May, yes.
DR. SAUTER: It is the affidavit which deals with these transactions with the SS. Are your statements in this affidavit correct?
