Research Notes. Asked about Franz Jaegerstaetter's mental condition, to which Kreuzberg rejected the idea that he could possibly be mentally unsound. Kreuzberg then described his two visits in prison with Franz: the first during which he spent two hours attempting to change his mind and the second in which he asked about his final decision. Regarding Gordon's idea that Kreuzberg had possibly smuggled something to Franz's family, Kreuzberg said he had never smuggled anything out for Franz.
