THE PRESIDENT: What was he? What did you ask for him to prove in the first instance?
DR. BERGOLD: I had originally called him as a substitute...
THE PRESIDENT: We have got your application.
DR. BERGOLD: But after talking to witness Klöpfer, whom I have also waived, I am also waiving the witness Walkenhorst because he does not appear to me to be competent enough to testify on what I wanted him to testify about.
My entire presentation of evidence, therefore, is now completed, except for the two documents which the Tribunal have already granted me, namely, the decree about stopping the measures against the churches and Bormann’s decree from the year 1944, with which he forbade members of the Chancellery to be members of the SD. Those two documents I have not yet received. When I have received them I shall submit them.
THE PRESIDENT: Very well.
Dr. Servatius, you have some question or affidavit you wanted to get from this witness Walkenhorst, did you not?
DR. SERVATIUS: I have an affidavit from this witness Walkenhorst which deals briefly with the question of the telephone conversation which Sauckel had at that time about the evacuation of the Buchenwald Camp. He has been accused of having ordered the evacuation of the camp when the American army approached. Now this witness Walkenhorst has accidently been found and it turns out that oddly enough he was the man with whom Sauckel spoke. He has confirmed to me in an affidavit that Sauckel demanded that the camp should be surrendered in an orderly way.
That is all I wanted to ask this witness. I can submit it here in the form of an affidavit.
THE PRESIDENT: Do the Prosecution want the man called or will the affidavit do?
