MR. ROBERTS: Honorary custody?
JODL: It was called honorary custody.
MR. ROBERTS: What? Was he an honorary member of Dachau?
JODL: That I do not know. Those are not questions that you can put to me, for I was a soldier and not the commandant of a concentration camp.
MR. ROBERTS: That is an honor that one would be glad to dispense with, isn’t it?
JODL: I would gladly dispense with much that took place during these years.
DR. EXNER: Please, I must protest against questions like that, purely political and based purely on legal questions and on matters which the defendant cannot at all answer through his own knowledge. It is not a fact whether Schuschnigg was happy.
MR. ROBERTS: My Lord, in my respectful submission, these questions are perfectly proper; they are questions the like of which have been put by every counsel who has cross-examined both for the Prosecution and the Defense.
THE PRESIDENT: Mr. Roberts, the Tribunal thinks that the cross-examination is proper.
MR. ROBERTS: My Lord, I am passing from that point. I am grateful to you.
