HIMMLER

Margaret Himmler

Q. Did you see much of your husband before the war?

A. Well, very frequently, one couldn't say that.

Q. Not very often?

A. No, not very often.

Q. How did you get along with him?

A. Must I answer that question?

Q. Well, why not.

A. (No response)

Q. This is entirely confidential. Nobody is going to read it except myself.

A. Well I think that the Americans and the British know just as well as I do that my husband was not faithful to me.
