DR. SAUTER: And I should like to put the same question to you with regard to the Defendant Funk. Did the Defendant Funk, who moreover belonged to the Reichsbank only in part, go to the strong-rooms often?
If so, how often and for what reason? And did he see what had been handed in by the SS?
PUHL: The answer is that Funk, too, went to the strong-rooms on special occasions, for example, when there were foreign visitors. Naturally, I would not know how often, nor whether he saw the SS deposits. That depends on whether the strong-room officials who were conducting him pointed them out to him.
DR. SAUTER: Did you, Witness, see the things which came from the SS—did you see them yourself?
PUHL: No, never.
DR. SAUTER: Never?
PUHL: Never.
DR. SAUTER: Do you think that the Defendant Funk saw them?
PUHL: I cannot tell that, of course; it depends on whether the strong-room officials pointed out specifically: “Here is the deposit of the SS.”
DR. SAUTER: Then I presume you cannot give us any information on how these things of the SS were actually kept or how they were packed?
