The affidavit cf Fritz Suhren doesn't bring any now evidence, and this is an answer to the affidavit. In my opinion in the theory of the law it is incorrect to introduce this, and it would be erroneously received, inasmuch as the affidavit of Fritz Suhren is in the nature of true rebuttal.
THE: PRESIDENT: I think it would be better to wait until the last of the documents are offered so that we might probably have the English translation. We will pass the document at this tine and consider it at some later date.
I would state for the benefit of counsel for both parties that this noon I spoke with the head of the Translation Department. I talked with him Saturday, Mr. Hodges, and he told me that every document which he had last Saturday, would be available for this Tribunal tomorrow morning, Wednesday morning. He informs me today that his promise will be carried out, that every document that he had at the time I spoke to him last Saturday will be ready tomorrow morning. He also informed me that he had received several documents for translation yesterday, some on behalf of the Defendant Handloser, some on behalf cf the Defendant Rose, and some documents from another defendant whose name he had forgotten. It seems to me that as far as Defendants Mrugowsky and Handloser and concerned there is little excuse for the late date these documents were turned into the Translation. As to the other defendants, I am not advised, but we will see what we have tomorrow morning.
Counsel for tho Prosecution is ready to proceed with his documents?
MR. HARDY: Your Honor, I should now like to proceed with the documents which the Prosecution have introduced during the course of the defense and which documents have been marked for identification only. I will distribute a limited number cf copies of indexes and documents of these particular documents which were marked fer identification, in English and in German; and during the presentation of these documents for formal admittance, the Prosecution would appreciate any suggestions from the Tribunal in connection with the introduction thereof. I have four copies of the complete documents with indexes for the Tribunal.
The two that I presented to Judge Sebring and Justice Beals yesterday were a little out of order in one or two instances, but these, I am assured, are in better order; and I think that if you will refer to these you will have a better index and all the documents complete. At the same time, I have one copy for the interpreters in English and one for the court reporters. We have four remaining copies in German for the defense counsel. Bearing in mind, of course, Your Honor, that ail parties have previously received copies of these documents. These are merely for convenience.
THE PRESIDENT: The Secretary will hand these documents to the Tribunal.
MR. HARDY: If Your Honors please, for convenience, if you will take the last document, on the bottom of all, that should be the first one which I introduce which is Exhibit No.442. You see the asterisk on page 1 which refers to the last page. This is Exhibit 442, which is Document NO-892. Put that on the top, and then I think ore can continue along in order until we hit another snag. And as I go through these, Your Honor.....
THE PRESIDENT: Just a moment, Counsel.
MR. HARDY: Yes, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: The last document....
MR. HARDY: The last document was No. 892.
THE PRESIDENT: That doesn't seem to be here, Counsel.
MR. HARDY: Perhaps it's been put on top.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, that is on top. I thought you referred to the last document in the boOk. Very well.
MR. HARDY: The first document is Document NO-892, which is Exhibit No. 442, which I offer at this time formally for admission into evidence.
THE PRESIDENT: Can you state, Counsel, in connection with each document the name of the defendant in connection with whose evidence these documents were identified?
MR. HARDY: That would be almost an impossibility.
THE PRESIDENT: Very well, I just asked for the information.
MR. HARDY: However, this is a euthanasia document.
I think I can do that, Your Honor. Miss Johnson has prepared a list for me.
This document NO-892, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit No. 442, was introduced during the course of the cross examination of Karl Brandt and is found on page 2540 of the official transcript.
THE PRESIDENT: What page, Counsel?
MR. HARDY: The page is contained in the index, Your Honor. The index has the page of the official transcript.
THE PRESIDENT: That is in the right-hand column?
MR. HARDY: That is right, Your Honor.
THE PRESIDENT: All right.
MR. HARDY: Will I assume, Your Honor, that these documents are accepted into evidence and continue right along unless there are objections to the contrary?
JUDGE SEBRING: Mr. Hardy.
MR. HARDY: Yes, Your Honor.
JUDGE SEBRING: I notice in several of those there is a reference; well, in 890, for example, "on the basis of a letter directed to Professor Dr. Brandt"; and, if you can, when you come to the documents referring to Dr. Brandt, if it is convenient for you to do so, will you indicate whether that is Karl Brandt or Rudolf Brandt?
MR. HARDY: Yes, Your Honor.
JUDGE SEBRING: And also it appears that some of these copies do not have signatures, and it may be that the originals do. If they do, will you please give us the documents -- for example, the last exhibit, 442 -- I don't know whether that had a signature or not.
MR. HARDY: The last exhibit does not have a signature, Your Honor. It is a certified copy by the -- I think it is the prosecutor or the court officer in Frankfurt from whom we received the copy. It is purported to be a copy of the original.
JUDGE SEBRING: The latter itself evidently has a signature, because the word "signature" is written there, but the name is not trans cribed.
MR. HARDY: That is right, Your Honor. The name wasn't reproduced.
THE PRESIDENT: These documents, as they are called to the attention of the Tribunal and offered, will be considered as received in evidence unless there is an objection, in which event, of course, the objection will be heard and decided.
MR. HARDY: There is one other point I want to clarify, Your Honors. When I refer to these documents which are submitted during the cross-examination of a particular defendant I do not limit the document and the contents thereof to that particular defendant's case. It may well fit into other defendants' cases.
THE PRESIDENT: That will be understood.
MR. HARDY: The second is Document NO-890, which is offered as prosecution Exhibit No. 443. This was introduced during the crossexamination of the Defendant Karl Brandt and is found on page 2500 of the transcript. The original letter, Your Honors, contains a signature which I am unable to decipher and is illegible, unless it could be deciphered by other German handwriting experts.
The next is Document NO-1758, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit No. 444. This is found on page 2545 of the official transcript. These are excerpts from General Halder's diary. The diary was taken in shorthand. The original shorthand notes were transcribed into German and duly certified, Your Honor.
THE PRESIDENT: What is the number of that document, Counsel?
MR. HARDY: That will be Exhibit 444. The document number is NO-1758.
The next document is Document NO-119, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit 445, found on page 2638 of the transcript, and is an order of the Fuehrer regarding the release of doctors from their professional discretion. This is an original letter, Your Honor, which is on the official stationery, of the National sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei and was found by the Prosecution in the document center in Vienna, and is duly certified.
This is also offered in connection with the case of Karl Brandt.
The next document, Your Honor, is NO-154, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit 446, which is found also on page 2638 of the official transcript, and this is a report on some experiments with the decontamination of water. The original exhibit is a photostatic copy which is signed. This was found by myself personally in the files of the Reich Research Council in Frankfurt.
The next document is Document NO-1419, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit 447, which is found on page 2641 of the official transcript and is a letter from Rudolf Brandt to Karl Wolff regarding the food experiments in concentration camps. Pardon me, Your Honor -correction -- it is a letter from Karl Brandt to Wolff, and it bears the original signature of the defendant Karl Brandt.
The next document is NO-1382, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit 448 and is found on page 2644 of the official transcript, during the course of the cross examination of the defendant Karl Brandt. These are two telegrams, Your Honor.
The next document is NO-1620, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit 449 and found during the cross examination of Karl Brandt, on page 2646 of the official transcript. This is a memorandum from Grawitz to Himmler on proposed medical experiments and then the reply of Rudolf Brandt for Himmler. The original exhibits contain the original signature of Reichsarzt SS Grawitz and also the initials of the Defendart Rudolf Brandt.
The next is 1490, NO-1490, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit 450, which is found on page 3024 of the official transcript. These are two letters regarding the Handloser appointment to the Reich Research Council, which were introduced during the cross-examination of the Defendant Handloser. These are in the original, Your Honor, with an envelope attached thereto. One has the typewritten signature of Fromm, and the other has a signature which I am unable to make out, and you recall that there was a note on the top regarding Professor Rostock.
The next is a statement by the Defendant Handloser, which is NO-732, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit 451. It is found on page 3060 of the official transcript. This was likewise offered during the course of the cross examination of the Defendant Handloser.
The next is Document NO-1323, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit No. 452, which is found on page 3082 of the official transcript and bears the original signature of the Defendant Handloser. It has an attachment thereto and it concerns spotted fever or typhus vaccines.
The next -
JUDGE SEBRING: Wait just a minute, please. No. 732 was 451?
MR. HARDY: Yes, Your Honor.
JUDGE SEBRING: No. 1323 was 452?
MR. HARDY: Yes, Your Honor.
JUDGE SEBRING: And No. 1321 is 453?
MR. HARDY: That is what it will be, Your Honor. I am getting to that now. Do Your Honors have copies of the index before you?
JUDGE SEBRING: Yes.
MR. HARDY: Next is Document NO-1321, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit No. 453, which is found on page 3083 of the official transcript and was introduced during the cross examination of the Defendant Handloser.
The next document, Your Honors, is NO-1315, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit No. 454. It is found on page 3086 of the official transcript and was offered during the cross examination of the Defendant Handloser. It contains the original signature of one Dr. Bieber.
The next is Document NO-1318, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit No. 455. It is found on page 3090 of the official transcript and was offered during the cross examination of the Defendant Handloser.
This contains an original signature which is reported to be illegible in the translation and I, unfortunately, am unable to decipher it.
THE PRESIDENT: That, Counsel, is Document 1315?
MR. HARDY: 1318, Your Honor. It is offered as Exhibit 455 as indicated on the index.
The next document, Your Honor, is Document NO-1852, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit 456, which is found on page 3406 of the official transcript and was introduced during the course of the crossexamination of the Defendant Rostock. At that time it was objected to by Dr. Servatius. The original copies of the documents were sent here from Natzweiler and were exhibited to Defense Counsel, and he informed me orally that he withdrew objection after having the opportunity to peruse the original documents.
The next document, Your Honor, is NO-692, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit No. 457, found on page 3408 of the official transcript and was introduced during the cross examination of the Defendant Rostock.

That is the office of Dr. Brandt, Karl Brandt.
The next document, Your Honor, is Document NO-232, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit No. 459. It is found on page 4237 of the official transcript and is a letter from Gebhardt to Brandt regarding experiments at Dachau.
JUDGE SEBRING: Which Brandt?
MR. HARDY: This should be Rudolf Brandt, Obersturmbannfuehrer Dr. Brandt.
That is to be found during the cross examination of the Defendant Gebhardt.
The next document, Your Honor, is NO-919 which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit 460, found on page 4244 of the official transcript was offered during the cross examination of the Defendant Gebhardt. This is a Himmler order regarding experimentation on concentration camp inmates.
THE PRESIDENT: One moment, counsel. I don't seem to have that in order.
MR. HARDY: That's 919, Your Honor.
THE PRESIDENT: I have it.
MR. HARDY: Now, if you will turn to the second page of the index Your Honor, you will come to Document NO-190, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit No. 461, which is found on page 4714 of the official transcript and was introduced during the course of the examination of the Defendant Blome.
The next document, Your Honor-------
THE PRESIDENT: Just a minute Counsel.
MR. HARDY: Yes, Your Honor.
THE PRESIDENT: Counsel on the top of the second page of this index I find Document 1185.
MR. HARDY: The second page?
THE PRESIDENT: No, Page 2 is omitted from my index. That's the top of Page 3, but I have no Page 2.
MR. HARDY: I will send you up a Page 2 Your Honor.
THE PRESIDENT: I have one. I have another Page 2 here.
MR. HARDY: On Page 2, Your Honor, the top document is NO-190. It is offered as Prosecution Exhibit 461 and is found in the transcript on pages 4714 and was introduced during the examination of the Defendant Blome. Are you in order now, Your Honor?
THE PRESIDENT: Just a moment -- yes.
MR. HARDY: The next document is No-1424, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit No. 462, found on page 4773 of the official transcript and was offered during the examination of the Defendant Blome. The next document is NO-1057, which is Prosecution Exhibit No. 463, found on page 4783 of the transcript, and was offered during the examination of the Defendant Blome.
This bears the original initial of the Defendant Rudolf Brandt.
The next document, Your Honor, is NO-1368, which is Prosecution Exhibit 464, found on page 4807 of the official transcript and was introduced during the examination of the Defendant Blome. It bears the original initials of the Defendant Roudolf Brandt. The next document, Your Honor, is Document NO-435, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit 465. It is found on page 4983 of the transcript and was offered during the examination of the Defendant Rudolf Brandt. It has thereon various signatures, and letters from Himmler are attached thereto, and we will find endorsements which contain the original initials of the Defendant Rudolf Brandt. The Tribunal will recall that he properly identified them during the course of his examination.
The next document, Your Honor, is NO-1198, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit 466, found on page 5390 of the official transcript and is a letter from Grawitz to Mrugowsky which was introduced during the examination of the Defendant Mrugowsky. It is signed in a typewritten signature by Grawitz and then "by order of Grawitz," and the original signature of one, "Nicolai" appears on the original document.
The next document, Your Honor, is NO-1303, which is Prosecution Exhibit 467, found on page 5400 of the official transcript and is a letter from Mrugowsky to the Reichsarzt SS, bearing the initials of the Defendant Mrugowsky.
The next document, Your Honor, is NI-034, which is an affidavit of a witness named Rudolf Hoess, and it is Prosecution Exhibit 468, found on page 5407 of the transcript and was introduced during the cross examination of the Defendant Mrugowsky.
This also bears a jurat thereon to the signature of Rudolf Hoess, of one Alfred H Buch, who is duly authorized by the chief of counsel to administer oaths. Your Honors will notice that in addition to this affidavit, which I may not have called to your attention during the course of the cross examination of the Defendant Mrugowsky, is a rather elaborate chart of the concentration camps in Germany. The Prosecution did not have this reproduced for the convenience of the Tribuna. However, the Tribunal will note that is is attached to the original, and if they desire photostatic copies thereof, they may well have the Secretary General reproduce them for their use.
Now, I just noticed this myself when I looked at the original exhibit.
THE PRESIDENT: The Tribunal will be glad to have those photostatic copies.
MR. HARDY: It is nothing of evidential value, I think, Your Honor, other than the location of particular concentration camps.
DR. FLEMMING: (For Mrugowsky) Mr. President, I object to the submission of this chart. It was not included when the document was offered originally. I do not know this chart and therefore I must object, since I do not know what it shows.
MR. HARDY: I am not offering it in evidence, Your Honor, I was merely calling it to your attention. It is immaterial to me whether it is accepted into evidence or not. I thought for the convenience of the Tribunal if they would like to see a detailed map concerning the location of concentration camps, it is there for your perusal.
THE PRESIDENT: It is not received in evidence, not having been offered in evidence.
MR. HARDY: The next is Document NO-1305, Your Honor, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit 469, which is found on page 5426 of the official transcript and was offered during the course of the cross examination of the Defendant Mrugowsky.
DR. GAWLICK: Mr. President, I should like to have the Prosecution explain whether this ehxibit is to be used only against the Defendant Mrugowsky or also against the Defendant Dr. Hoven, who is mentioned in it.
MR. HARDY: I think I have amply explained that in our briefs, Your Honor. I am not in a position today to elaborate on each document. I have here several documents that number up into the fifties, and it would place a burden upon me, as one prosecutor, to enable each one of these defense counsel -- I am not in a position to write a brief for each one of them at this time.
THE PRESIDENT: When defendants' counsel receive the briefs of the Prosecution, the defendants' counsel will be fully advised as to which documents are relied upon as evidence against which particular defendant or defendants.
MR. HARDY: I might state that he may rest assured that this document will be used against him if it has any connection with the typhus experiments at Buchenwald, and he may guide himself accordingly in his brief.
The next Document is NO-1188, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit No. 470, which is found on page 5437 of the official transcript and was offered during the cross examination of the Defendant Mrugowsky. This has the original signature of Lolling. The next is Document NO-1189, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit 471 and is found in the original transcript on page 5440 and was offered during the cross examination of the Defendant Mrugowsky, and you will recall at that time that the document was objected to by Defense Counsel and that the defendant himself indicated that he was fully aware of the contents of the document, and at that time the objection was withdrawn.
THE PRESIDENT: Just delay a moment, Counsel, before offering the next document.
MR. HARDY: Yes, Your Honor. I want to call to the Tribunal's attention that this last document also bears thereon the original signature of Dr. Ding. It's in the left-hand corner, second page of the original document.
The next document. Your Honor, is Document No-1197, which is introduced as Prosecution Exhibit 472 and is found on page 5451 of the official transcript and bears the signature of the Defendant Mrugowsky. If I recall correctly, he properly Identified that as his signature during cross examination. The next is Document NO-2734, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit 473, which is found on page 5622 of the official transcript. It is a letter from Grawitz to Himmler regarding clinical surgical experimentation by Gebhardt, with enclosures. The original has the signature of Grawitz thereon; it also has the original signature of the Defendant Gebhardt and a note thereon, and in addition to that, on the last page of the document, we note the original signature of the Defendant Poppendick, which was properly identified by the Defendant in the course of his examination. This was introduced during the cross examination of the Defendant Poppendick.
DR. SEIDL: (for Gebhardt) Mr. President, I object to the admission of this document at the present time. Document NO-2734 was not shown to the Defendant Karl Gebhardt in cross examination but to the Defendant Poppendick. It was It was obviously shown to the Defendant Poppendick only in order to determine the correctness of his signature at the end of the document.
Only one photostatic copy was shown to the Defendant Dr. Poppendick on the witness stand by the Prosecution. Defendant Gebhardt nor I myself had any knowledge of the contents of this document. Today I see this document for the first time. Consequently I have had no opportunity to present any evidence against the contents of this document. In view of the fact that the Prosecution has not as yet given the Defense any copies of this Document, I make application that this document be admitted only for identification but not as an exhibit.
MR. HARDY: May it please Your Honors, it amazed me no end that Dr. Seidl hasn't seen this before, because it was a tonic of conversation here for several weeks that we had a document, an original report of the experiments of Gebhardt, and it seems to me that I recall even chatting with Defense Counsel about it, but I may be recalling incorrectly. However, this document is a rebuttal document in the same manner as all the rest. The Defendant Gebhardt took this stand and said that Mrugowsky had nothing to do with these experiments. Right in this document he thanks or wishes to thank Mrugowsky, Blumenreuther, and so forth for their assistance. This document is in the nature of a rebuttal document. It is a German document, and it couldn't be any more original than it is. It has been in the hands of Defense Counsel, to my knowledge, Defense Counsel for Poppendick had it for several days and had the opportunity to observe it, and whether or not the Defendant Gebhardt had an opportunity to be heard on the document is immaterial. It is a rebuttal document. It rebuts the testimony of the Defendant Gebhardt directly. I wish to pass it up to Your Honors, for your perusal.
MR. HARDY: (continued) As a matter of fact, Your Honor, it would have been introduced during the cross examination of the Defendant Gebhardt had we received it. We found it coincidentally on the morning of the cross examination of Poppendick and it had his signature thereon. That's why I used it immediately. At that time it had not been processes but since then it has been processed, and I have been informed that copies have been delivered to defense counsel immediately upon the completion of the processing, which was during the course of the case of Poppendick. I am not certain, but as I remember this document was introduced on 9 April, and this is now 1 July.
THE PRESIDENT: The final record, on page 5622 as shown on this index would show what happened. The document will be received in evidence.
Counsel for the Defendant Gebhardt, of course, may make any argument in his brief against the application of this document to his client that he deems to be well founded.
MR. HARDY: The next document, Your Honor, is NO-1639, which is introduced as Prosecution Exhibit 474. It is found on page 5622 of the record. It was introduced during the cross examination of the Defendant Poppendick. This document bears the original signature of tho Reichsarzt SS, Dr. Grawitz.
THE PRESIDENT: Counsel, I don't .... That is correct.
MR. HARDY: The next document, Your Honor, is NO........
THE PRESIDENT: Just a moment, Counsel, I don't observe that this document boars the signature of Grawitz.
MR. HARDY: This is a letter by Grawitz to the Reichsarzt-SS on sterilization dated 7 September 1942.
THE PRESIDENT: The pages were not clipped together. I assumed that the exhibit constituted only the first page which is a complete document.
JUDGE SEBRING: I notice that in your schedule you have 1639 and 1639-a.
MR. HARDY: That is correct, Your Honor.
JUDGE SEBRING: And yet you have three pages of one document called No. NO-1639.
MR. HARDY: Just a moment. I think at that time I was introducing them with two different signatures, and it was Your Honor's suggestion that I break them up into NO-1639 and NO-1639-a. One is a letter of Grawitz and that's perhaps why it indicates 1 of 3 pages, because we broke them up for convenience at that time, if my memory serves me correctly. 1639 is merely the correspondence to Himmler signed by Grawitz.
JUDGE SEBRING: That will be 474 and the letter by Poppendick will be 475?
MR. HARDY: That is correct, Your Honor.
The next document is NO-1639-a, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit 475 and is found on page 5622 of the record, which is a letter signed by the Defendant Poppendick, and his original signature appears thereon.
Do you have that straightened out now, Your Honor?
THE PRESIDENT: What number document was that, Counsel?
MR. HARDY: That was 1639-a, which is Prosecution Exhibit it 475.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, we have that.
MR. HARDY: Right, now the next one. The next one is NO-1184, which is Prosecution Exhibit 476. This is found on page 5639 and was introduced during the cross examination of the Defendant Poppendick and bears the original signature of the Defendant Poppendick.
JUDGE SEBRING: Incidentally, on the left-hand side appears a hand-written statement "Ding for processing". In what handwriting is that?
MR. HARDY: That's Dr. Ding's signature in the left-hand corner, Your Honor. The other writing seems to be the same penmanship, but I recognize that as Dr. Ding's signature.
The next document, Your Honor, is NO 1182, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit 477, which is on page 5641 of the official transcript and was offered during cross examination of the Defendant Poppendick and bears the original signature of one Vonkennel. This is an original German document on the stationery of Vonkennel.
DR. FLEMMING: Mr. President, for Mrugowsky. In connection with document NO-1184, Judge Sebring said there was a signature at the left. Mr. Hardy said that was the signature of Ding. There isn't any signature on the left here. I should like to see the original. (Looks at original) That was not copied.
MR. HARDY: The next document, Your Honor, reference will be found on page 3 of the index. The first document on page 3 is NO-1185, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit 478, which is found on page 5648 of the transcript and was introduced during the cross examination of the Defendant Poppendick, and this bears the original initials of Dr. Ding.

The original exhibit is a copy and a notation that a copy was also sent to Professor Hirt.
No signature appears on the carbon copy. However, the rank of SS-Obersturmbannfuehrer appears below where the signature should appear. It is from the Chief of the Ahnenerbe and is assumed to be the Defendant Sievers' letter.
The next is Document NO-935, which is offered as Prosecution Exhibit 481, found on page 5845 of the record, was introduced during the cross examination of the Defendant Sievers. The first letter in this document bears the initials of Sievers, and in addition the second letter has the signature of Sievers thereon.
