How did you give that answer, and is that information correct?
GÖRING: Will you please repeat.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Referring to Schacht, the record shows that you said:
“He made the suggestion that I was to become the Commissioner for Raw Materials and Foreign Currency. He had the idea that, in that position, I could give the Minister for Economics and the President of the Reichsbank valuable support.”
GÖRING: That is absolutely correct, with the exception of the word “Reichstagspräsident;” that ought to be President of the Reichsbank.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Yes. That is the way I have it.
GÖRING: It sounded like “Reichstagspräsident” over the earphones.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: “Moreover, he was very outspoken in the suggestion that he and Blomberg made, that I should be put in charge of the Four Year Plan. However, Schacht’s idea was that I did not know very much about economy, and that he could easily hide behind my back.”
GÖRING: That I said the other day quite clearly.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Now, from that time on you and Schacht collaborated for some time in preparing a rearmament program, did you not?
