[Eichmann-trial, Witness statements multiple II]

The file is part of the witness statements acquired in Germany and Austria of former functionaries in Nazi Germany, on behalf of the prosecutor of the Eichmann trial in 1961. The witnesses are Dr. Veesenmayer, ambassador of Germany in Hungary who denies having been superior to Eichmann in Hungary. He also states that he was involved in the transfer of the Manfred-Weis factories on behalf of the Hungarian government and was reprimanded by Berlin. Walter Huppenkothen describes the organizational structure and procedures of the Reichssicherheitshauptamt. He gives insight into the workings of SS Gruppenführer Heinrich Müller (head of Amt IV of the RSHA and one of Eichmann's superiors). Dr. Theodor Grell (diplomat) testifies about the deportations of Jews in Hungary in 1944. He describes Eichmann's room for decision making limited but as a man with a lot of ambition and initiative.
