Q. What descriptions did Elkar give you about the further handling of the SD reports in Berlin?
A. He said that the information which I gave him—which was usually an opinion on problems which were connected with the collection of comments from the people—he would incorporate into his reports. These reports in Berlin would then be divided according to whichever participating Reich agency was interested and put at the disposal of those offices.
Q. Did you have an insight into questions and tasks which were outside of the administration of justice?
A. I did not gain any insight into those questions.
Q. Did Elkar tell you anything about the activity of the SD Einsatzgruppen in the east?
A. No. I only found out about that now.
Q. Did Elkar speak to you about the so-called final solution of the Jewish problem by extermination, execution, or gassing?
A. No word was ever spoken about this. I do not believe that Elkar was informed about matters of that kind either.
Q. Did Elkar tell you about individual SD Fuehrers being entrusted with special tasks, as for instance, the feigned attack on the Gleiwitz radio station, or similar undertakings which were the subject of the IMT Trial?
A. Matters of that kind were not discussed among us. The examples you have cited became known to me only here in Nuernberg in the course of this trial.
