THE PRESIDENT: The defendant Fischer. DEFENDANT FISCHER: Your Honors, when this war began I was just a young doctor, 27 years of age. My attitude towards my people and my Fatherland took me to the front line as a troop doctor. I there joined an armored division, where I remained until I was incapacitated for further service. For only a very brief period, during these years of war, I worked as a medical officer in a hospital back home, and there too my conception of my duties was directed by the wish to serve my country. During this time of my work at home, I received the order which made me a subject of the Indictment of this trial.
