PUHL: I know that from my interrogations at Frankfurt.
DR. SAUTER: You were told about these things during your interrogations in Frankfurt after your arrest?
PUHL: And they were shown to me.
DR. SAUTER: You had no knowledge of them while you were free and administered the Reichsbank as Vice President?
PUHL: No, because, I repeat it again, we never discussed this in the Directorate, since it was of no basic significance for currency or banking policy or in any other respect.
DR. SAUTER: Witness, if at that time in 1942 you had known that these were articles which the SS had taken away from many concentration camp victims, would you have received them into safekeeping?
PUHL: No.
DR. SAUTER: What would you have done?
PUHL: Then we would have come to some decision on the attitude which the bank as a whole should adopt toward this problem.
DR. SAUTER: Who would have had the decisive word?
