You stated yesterday as well that no hostage had been shot at the hostage camp of Michelsgestel.
SEYSS-INQUART: That is unknown to me.
M. DEBENEST: Nevertheless, you stated that yesterday. Or are you still claiming that none had been shot at that time?
THE PRESIDENT: Will the defendant answer, please? Don’t just nod your head. It does not come through the sound system.
SEYSS-INQUART: I wanted to say only that I know of no case. Perhaps on some occasion such a case did occur, but I do not remember.
M. DEBENEST: Nevertheless, you are not denying that some may have been shot?
SEYSS-INQUART: There might have been reasons which necessitated such a shooting. But I do not recall a single case.
M. DEBENEST: The hostages who were executed in this manner, were they all people who had been sentenced to death?
SEYSS-INQUART: I do not know because I do not know whether anyone was shot at all.
M. DEBENEST: In the case of the execution of hostages at Rotterdam, was not one of the hostages arrested the day before the execution, and shot the very next day?
