THE PRESIDENT: What is the number again, please?
FLOTTENRICHTER KRANZBÜHLER: Number Dönitz-107, Mr. President.
THE PRESIDENT: And it contains extracts from these proceedings, does it?
FLOTTENRICHTER KRANZBÜHLER: Yes, extracts.
THE PRESIDENT: The Prosecution will put in their extracts and we will consider them both.
FLOTTENRICHTER KRANZBÜHLER: Mr. President, then I have another question dealing with the documents of the case which we have just dealt with, the case of Katyn.
The witness, Professor Markov, mentioned the expert opinion given by the Italian expert, Professor Palmieri, which is in the German White Book. I should also like to submit this opinion as evidence, for the reason that there is no mention of insects being found on the corpses as Professor Markov asserted, but rather, “larvae.” To me the difference appears to be that insects fly about during the summer whereas larvae conceal themselves during the winter months, Mr. President, may I submit this document?
MR. COUNSELLOR SMIRNOV: Mr. President, I should like to make just one factual remark. In Professor Palmieri’s report it was indicated that the “larvae” were discovered in the throats of the corpses. I cannot imagine that “insects” were ever found in the throat of a corpse. That is why I do not think that the presentation of the document by defendant’s counsel serves a purpose.
THE PRESIDENT: Dr. Kranzbühler, you are specifying a particular document referred to in the White Book, is that right?
FLOTTENRICHTER KRANZBÜHLER: Yes, Mr. President.
