THE PRESIDENT: How far from Bormann?
KEMPKA: It was perhaps 3 or 4 meters.
THE PRESIDENT: And then some missile struck the tank, is that right?
KEMPKA: No, I believe the tank was hit by a bazooka fired from a window.
THE PRESIDENT: And then you saw a flash and you became unconscious?
KEMPKA: Yes, I suddenly saw a flash of fire and in the fraction of a second I also saw Reichsleiter Bormann and State Secretary Naumann both make a movement as if collapsing and flying away. I myself was thrown aside with them at that same moment and subsequently lost consciousness.
THE PRESIDENT: And then you crept away?
KEMPKA: When I recovered I could not see anything and then I crawled away and crawled until I bumped my head against the tank barrier.
THE PRESIDENT: Where did you go to that night?
KEMPKA: I waited there for a while, and then I said farewell to my drivers, some of whom were still there; and then I stayed in the ruins of Berlin, and on the following day I left Berlin.
