THE PRESIDENT: Yes, I know, but what is this document?
M. FAURE: It is a report from the German military administration, which
is in the American documents in the PS series. The Tribunal received a
general affidavit referring thereto.
THE PRESIDENT: Captured documents?
M. FAURE: Yes, captured documents. I indicate to the Tribunal that this
captured report contains numerous other passages relating to the actions
of Abetz, but as the defendant declares that the report is inexact as
regards one of its passages, I shall not continue reading the document,
in order to save time.
In addition...
VON RIBBENTROP: But this is not a captured document, not a report.
M. FAURE: Please answer my questions. We are not going to carry on this
controversy. Your counsel can interrogate you later on.
DR. HORN: I must ask your permission to inquire into the nature of the
documents submitted to the defendant. If it is stated that it is a
captured report and then that it is not a captured report, the matters
should be put right, here and immediately.
M. FAURE: I have already indicated that this document belongs to the PS
series of captured documents. The Tribunal has a large number of such
documents and I do not think that their authenticity will be disputed.
[_Turning to the defendant._] I would now like to ask you the following
question:...
THE PRESIDENT: Are you going to ask further questions upon this
document?
