:10:05
Fetch Triebig
:10:07
Stay, I want you to listen
:10:14
Sir?
:10:18
You signed your Captain's report
:10:20
Were you present when Captain
Stransky led the counterattack?
:10:25
I accompanied Captain
Stransky to the field
:10:30
and saw him calling several
men around him
:10:33
Then he sent me back
to the command post
:10:36
Then how do you know Captain
Stransky led the counterattack?
:10:39
You've signed a statement
to that effect, Triebig
:10:42
I wasn't there I learned of it from
wounded men who were returning
:10:47
Can you give me the name of
one of these wounded men?
:10:50
They weren't staff men
just company men
:10:55
I knew them only by sight
:10:57
Beside the slope and the
puddle have been on fire, sir
:11:02
I want you to know, Triebig
:11:03
that I have had your
statement checked
:11:08
Captain Kiesle will inform you
of the results of our investigation
:11:16
Our investigation
so far has disclosed
:11:21
the men in second company
who took part in action
:11:26
declared unanimously the action
was led by Lieutenant Meyer
:11:35
None of them saw Captain
Stransky or Lieutenant Triebig
:11:47
To my mind there is nothing
more contemptible than
:11:51
stealing the laurels which
properly belong to the man
:11:53
who was killed in action
:11:56
If Sergeant Steiner stands by
his last testimony
:11:59
I should be compelled to
institute disciplinary proceedings
