So that is quite correct.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: I remind you of the testimony of the witness Milch, sworn on your behalf, as to a subject on which I have not heard you express yourself. He said:
“I had the impression that already at the time of the occupation of the Rhineland, he, Göring, was worried lest Hitler’s policy should lead to war.”
Do you remember that?
GÖRING: Yes.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: And was it true or false? True or mistaken, perhaps, I should say.
GÖRING: No, I did not want a war and I thought the best way to avoid a war was to be strongly armed according to the well-known adage, “He who has a strong sword has peace.”
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Well, you are still of that opinion?
GÖRING: I am of that opinion today, now that I see the entanglements more than ever.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: And it is true, as Milch said, that you were worried that Hitler’s policies would lead to war at the time of the occupation of the Rhineland?
