VON STEENGRACHT: Who?
DR. NELTE: Through Herr Von Ribbentrop?
VON STEENGRACHT: No, Von Ribbentrop had nothing to do with that.
DR. NELTE: Then from Herr Hewel?
VON STEENGRACHT: Herr Hewel told me that. He called me up and told me that.
DR. NELTE: And you know nothing about the participation of military men?
VON STEENGRACHT: I know nothing at all about the participation of military men.
DR. NELTE: Thank you very much.
DR. HANS LATERNSER (Counsel for General Staff and High Command of the German Armed Forces): Witness, I have only one question. Did you, as State Secretary, or did the Foreign Office regularly inform military offices, for instance, the Army High Command or the High Command of the Navy, with reference to pertinent matters of German politics?
VON STEENGRACHT: No, they were not informed.
