| Abstract |
This interrogation report summarizes Wagner's knowledge of the Fuerher Order directing that Allied commandos be shot, and his explanation of a captured German document (signed by him and initialed by Doenitz) indicating that the German navy would, when necessary, disregard the Geneva Convention in matters of naval warfare. The present document is a typewritten copy of good quality on brown, brittle paper. |
