“Q. Did you know before that gypsies had been used?
“A. I only found out that gypsies were coming into Dachau from the camp commandant. * * * I, therefore, do not feel that I am responsible either for the selection of the place where the experiments were carried out nor for the selection of those persons who were used.”
Defendant Professor Dr. Schroeder states regarding this (Tr. pp. 3676-7): [Transcriber Note: The text ends here. No further statement printed in the original text.]
CROSS-EXAMINATION
“Mr. McHaney: Did you say anything to Beiglboeck about the experimental subjects?
“Defendant Schroeder: No. We only spoke about the matter as such. I am not quite sure whether the question ‘concentration camp’ was already established at that time. Please, why don’t you ask Beiglboeck himself? I don’t know if it was before or after 1 June.
“Q. You didn’t say anything to Beiglboeck about making sure that only German volunteers were used in the experiments?
“A. That was a matter of course. There was no discussion about it. It was no subject of discussion. There wasn’t anything to be discussed.
“Q. Well, you didn’t tell him that then?
“A. I don’t know. I can’t tell you that under oath. I know that there were volunteers; and I certainly did not say that they had to be German because I didn’t take any other possibility into consideration at all and couldn’t have said it. These are all reconstructions which came up later, but at that time weren’t subjects of discussion at all.”
