EXAMINATION BY THE TRIBUNAL
Presiding Judge Brand: I understood you to say that you did not know of any innocent person who was brought to Germany under Nacht und Nebel procedure.
Defendant von Ammon: I was referring to the assertion of the prosecution. The prosecution had maintained that evidently innocent persons had been treated in exactly the same manner as guilty NN prisoners, and it was in reply to that, that I stated that evidently innocent persons were never brought to Germany at all; that is to say, as far as my knowledge goes. If, however, it did happen that a person was evidently innocent and had been brought to Germany, then there was a possibility of releasing him back to the occupied territories.
Q. I still understand you to say that you knew of no innocent person brought under Nacht und Nebel procedure.
A. It may have happened, naturally, but—
Q. I am referring to what you said. Did I correctly understand you to make the statement that you knew of no innocent person who was brought to Germany under Nacht und Nebel procedure?
A. I would like to restrict that to evidently innocent persons, as opposed to a person whose innocence only later was made clear. That naturally happened, too, and such cases did occur and such cases were brought to Germany.
