5 March 1946 A. I know nothing about it. Q. According to Himmler, these ten Russians that had these bombs, to which I have just referred, had a very special mission. He says that they had the mission to kill Stalin. Now, what have you to say about that? A. That is very strange. Very, very strange. I have absolutely no recollection of having talked over any such matters with Himmler. However much I may be forgetful, had I sent ten men across the border I would have a remembrance of it now. Q. That is my opinion, too, General, that you should remember this. It has been six years since this document was written. The original of this document is in our possession. It is a damaging document in so far as you personally are concerned. It is a very serious document. It is not unlikely that whatever conduct of this type you were engaged in that you had others who instructed you to do these things, that there were others who were directing these activities. Now, the document on its face is very impressive and in the light of what you have told us, very difficult to explain away, because you have already told us of many of the things and subjects that are discussed in this paper. Now, I wish you would be fair to yourself and not assume this attitude of “I cannot remember”, but rather let us know who it is that is back of all of this. I think you ought to give serious thought to that for your own good. It is also important that you bear in mind this, as you think this over - your agreement entered into with Germany came into being according to your own statement in September or October 1938. In that agreement you were going to obtain information regarding the Russian Military. Now this document signed by Himmler, to which I have been referring, was written approximately three months after the agreement that I have referred to came into being. That is a damaging set of facts. Now, I am going to give you a chance to think this over, but I want you to tell us everything that was back of this conference with Himmler and everything about the subjects that were discussed between the two of you on that occasion. We will be back tomorrow and give you a chance at that time to say anything further about this matter that you might wish to say. 182
