"Remember?" "When it was over, however," "I felt a great relief." "Perhaps, also, because Klaus burned some 30 documents concerning you." "just as he burned yours, Kurt." "Naturally." "And now there's no trace of us in any military archive." "Right?" "It will be the same for you, Max." "Klaus?" "Klaus, perhaps there are no living witnesses." "But if there are, can't we leave them in peace?" "Let them forget?" "Even if it says 1,000 persons on paper, 10,000, it still makes less impression than one witness in flesh and blood." "That is why they are so dangerous, Max." "My task is to seek them out, wherever they are, and to see that they are filed away." "Max, our trials are held in private." "They're also therapeutic, right?" "And the more shock value they have, the more effect they have." "Only eyewitnesses can provoke this... because they go into details, they blurt out everything."
