MAJOR JONES: When 325 Italians were murdered and 57 Jews were thrown in as a bit of makeweight. You were there when that happened, were you not?
VON WEIZSÄCKER: I believe it was 320 prisoners who were murdered in this cave which you just mentioned.
MAJOR JONES: Yes. Were you consulted about that matter?
VON WEIZSÄCKER: No.
MAJOR JONES: That was an action by German forces, was it not?
VON WEIZSÄCKER: I believe by the German Police, and not by the German Armed Forces.
MAJOR JONES: And you know, Witness, that there were many murders of that kind carried out by the SS during the period of German activity in Italy, do you not?
VON WEIZSÄCKER: I do not know about many murders having taken place, but I believe that the German Police were quite capable of such things.
MAJOR JONES: You know that they left a record of terror and brutality wherever they left their mark upon Italy; is that not so?
VON WEIZSÄCKER: The German Police, yes.
