The amount mentioned first, of a hundred million marks, that I consider absolutely absurd.
The second sum of 500 thousand dollars, that I consider possible. It is quite within the realm of possibility that such sums were taken away from people in these actions.
For instance, from people who were taken into concentration camps, and in other actions-
I know nothing about that.
No, I did not know anything about these things. I explained this before this Court when I said that these things went from the Reichskommissar for the utilization of old material, and they were sent directly from the concentration camps to the various factories.
Not a single person told me anything about confiscated textiles from concentration camps.
As far as I remember, I only talked with Pohl once and perhaps he visited me twice.
No.
In my opinion the motive is purely psychological, because people who are in the terrible situation that Pohl is in, who are implicated for the *** of millions, usually attempt to incriminate others. We know that.
No, I do not regard myself as a murderer of millions.
I have never asserted that I knew nothing about it. I have always said that I knew that confiscated valuables were deposited in the Reichsbank by the SS and that foreign exchange, gold, and other foreign securities and bank notes were converted by the Reichsbank. But that I knew nothing-
No, I did not know that textiles from the concentration camps were used to this extent-
I knew nothing about the huge amounts which are being mentioned here. I knew only that foreign currency was being deposited.
Yes
