It comes from a Kreisamtsleiter - that is a professional official in the district of Cologne and Euskirchen. He deals with the card- index system. I have omitted Document No. 9. It comes from Brake in Oldenburg and deals with general matters. Now I should like to refer to Affidavit No. 16 and must make a correction.
Documents are in the document book whereas the affidavits have been numbered separately.
Affidavit No. 12 was made by an engine fitter who was a member of the Metal Workers' Union and who knows 200 Blockleiter. He deals principally with the question of nomination to and confirmation in the position of political leaders and he says that this hardly ever happened. He deals with the question of accepting office under coercion. He says that he had to fill in questionnaires which were added to his personal file. It also deals with the question of obtaining information on individuals and the procedure followed, if negative reports were returned which had been asked for through official channels.
