“For execution, only those persons who were already under arrest
at the time of the crime may be proposed.
“The proposal must contain the names and number of the persons
proposed for execution, that is, in the order in which the
choice is recommended.”
And, at the very end of Paragraph VIII, we read:
“When the bodies are buried, the burial of a large number in a
common grave in the same cemetery is to be avoided, in order not
to create places of pilgrimage which, now or later, might form
centers for anti-German propaganda. Therefore, if necessary,
burials must be carried out in various places.”
Parallel to this document, concerning France, there exists in Belgium an
order of Falkenhausen of 19 September 1941, which you will find on Page
6 of the official report on Belgium, Document Number F-683, which I
shall submit as Exhibit Number RF-275.
THE PRESIDENT: Is the Belgian document worded in substantially the same
terms as the document you have just read?
