THOMS: In Frankfurt.
DR. SAUTER: You were interrogated there, weren’t you?
THOMS: That is quite right. I was interrogated at Frankfurt.
DR. SAUTER: That is the affidavit which the Prosecutor has just put to you?
THOMS: Yes.
DR. SAUTER: How did you come to make the affidavit? Did you volunteer as a witness, or how did this happen?
THOMS: I want to point out to you that already a year ago when I was working at Frankfurt, I voluntarily gave the American offices the details of the transactions which were known to me in the matter of the gold of the Reichsbank.
DR. SAUTER: I see. So last year you already offered yourself as a witness?
THOMS: I wouldn’t say as a witness in this matter. I merely placed myself at their disposal for the clarification of Reichsbank affairs for American purposes.
DR. SAUTER: Yes. Did you ever discuss this matter with the President of the Reichsbank, Funk?
