Q. So you maintain that 2 December 1943 is the correct date on the letter?
A. Certainly. That is certainly the correct date.
Q. On the basis of the two letters which I have exhibited to you, you will concede that the Ding diary was precisely accurate in what it said, won’t you?
A. No, one can’t conclude that just like that. The order to carry out experiments in Buchenwald could not be issued by me in any way.
Q. That’s very clear—
A. That vaccines were requested from me seems to be evident from one letter. I didn’t remember it and I still don’t remember it now, but on the basis of this letter one has to consider that fact proved. Then it also becomes evident that in this case I drew the attention of Herr Mrugowsky to this vaccine, and that I mentioned a discussion dealing with human experiments regarding these vaccines.
Q. Professor, 6 persons died in this experiment with the Copenhagen vaccine, didn’t they?
A. Yes. These were 6 persons who were furnished by the Reich Criminal Police Office through the regular channels after they were chosen by the competent agencies.
