[Turning to the witness.] You were in France?
TIMM: Yes.
DR. SERVATIUS: Were you present at negotiations with the French authorities?
TIMM: I was present at negotiations with Laval, who was Premier at that time.
DR. SERVATIUS: Of what nature were these negotiations?
TIMM: One can certainly say that the negotiations were carried on in a very friendly manner.
DR. SERVATIUS: Did the French not bring any complaints?
TIMM: Individual complaints were made. I remember that the complaints were especially about the question of the transfer of wages.
DR. SERVATIUS: I should like to ask you whether complaints about treatment, the methods of recruitment, coercive measures, and so on—whether complaints were made about those things?
TIMM: No, I do not remember any complaints of that sort. I should certainly remember them if there had been any.
