Script cards for Nuremberg prosecution witnesses!!!!

Nice exchange between Hermann Goering's defence lawyer Dr. Otto Stahmer and Boris Bazilevsky, who was lying about the Germans committing the massacre of 21,768 Poles in the Katyn Forrest (It was the Russian's who killed them, Gorbachev admitted this in 1990 here).

DR. STAHMER: Witness, in your testimony, just before recess, you read out your testimony, if I observed correctly. Will you tell me whether that was so or not?

BAZILEVSKY: I was not reading anything. I have only a plan of the courtroom in my hand.

DR. STAHMER: It looked to me as though you were reading out your answers. How can you explain the fact that the interpreter already had your answer in his hands?

BAZILEVSKY: I do not know how the interpreters could have had my answers beforehand. The testimony which I am giving was, however, known to the Commission beforehand-that is, my testimony during the preliminary examination.

Nuremberg July 1st, 1946
