DR. STEINBAUER: I have only the request that, if possible, two books, which are not in my possession, be obtained: Document Number 8, Guido Zernatto, The Truth about Austria, and Number 9, the book A Pact with Hitler—The Austria Drama by Martin Fuchs. I was told by Austrian people that both these books contain worthwhile information on clarifying the events in 1937 and 1938. Both books were, of course, prohibited in Austria during the Nazi regime and therefore I cannot get them.
The second book is also on the list presented by the French Prosecution, and from this I have learned that the book appeared in the publishing firm of Plon in Paris. Perhaps it is possible, with the assistance of the Prosecution, to get these books in time. All other documents I have in my possession.
THE PRESIDENT: Did you say Number 2? You said 8 and 9, but did you also say Number 2?
DR. STEINBAUER: Number 2, Three Times Austria, by Schuschnigg.
THE PRESIDENT: I thought you mentioned the third book. You said you have not got Numbers 8 and 9 and I thought you went on to mention a third one.
DR. STEINBAUER: No, Sir; only these two books.
THE PRESIDENT: Very well. Then, no doubt, the Prosecution will help you to get them.
SIR DAVID MAXWELL-FYFE: We will make inquiries, My Lord, and we will communicate with them.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes. I call on counsel for the Defendant Speer.
SIR DAVID MAXWELL-FYFE: May it please the Tribunal, the Defendant Speer has asked for 22 witnesses, who are all to answer in writing. There are no oral witnesses. And he asked for 41 documents. He has also asked that the Court appoint a panel of experts to interrogate a number of witnesses on what are termed “economic questions.” Now, I think it would be convenient if I summarize in four sentences the points of defense that appear on Page 26 and the following pages of the application, because if the Tribunal have these in mind it will make consideration of the witnesses easier.
