“Answer: ‘During the time I was in office, when a propaganda drive was made, it was always brought into line with the propaganda which the Germans made in Norway.’


“Question: ‘Did you issue any directives for the NS Samling?’


“Answer: ‘No. In my time the NS Samling worked independently in this respect, and partly even contrary to our advice. The NS Samling took the view that it understood better the Norwegian mentality, but it made many mistakes.’


“Question: ‘Was financial support given?’


“Answer: ‘Certainly, financial help was given, but I don’t know the exact amount.’ ”

THE PRESIDENT: Shall we adjourn for 10 minutes?
