THE MARSHAL: Persons in the courtroom will please find their seats. The Tribunal is again in session. HEBERT KOSMEHL — Resumed DIRECT EXAMINATION — Continued BY DR. SAUTER (Counsel for the Defendant Blome): Q: Dr. Kosmehl, before the noon recess you were speaking of the relationship between Dr. Conti and Dr. Blome. This was necessary so that the court will be able to judge whether one can assume that Dr. Conti informed his deputy of all details, for example, concerning euthanasia, and you told us that Dr. Blome repeatedly offered his resignation but that it was not accepted. Now I should like to know the following, if the relationship between these two was as bad as you have described it; then can you say why Dr. Conti did not simply dismiss Dr. Blome, he then could have appointed Dr. Kaufmann, for example, whom you mentioned.
