Berndt had previously been informed that she had to provide truthful information during her interrogation, which she would have to confirm with her oath if necessary. She has also learned from me that the matter under consideration is an official investigation procedure based on legal provisions and so there is the possibility of an oath deposit from her. Denial to the case, Frl. Berndt explains the following: I know Staf. Krügel for about three years, namely in the Reichsjugendführung, Reichsführerschule II in Rehmagen. There Staf.Krügel was head of the school. I worked there in the office. When Staf . Krügl was called off to the ground office in Prague, I was still an employee in ReichsjügendFührung and indeed active in the reichsfültrerschule in Rehagen. I have Staf, K. to the desire to change myself and to go to Prague as well. I then arrived at the district office in Brno on August 8th. The official relationship between us is normal, i.e., that is to say, that I was already the head of the district. I perform the duties assigned to me as a secretary and do not enjoy any special privileges to other employees.
