LAMMERS: Yes, of course Funk, as Minister, was under the Führer.
MAJOR JONES: And he was advising the Führer himself, was he not?
LAMMERS: He very rarely saw the Führer.
MAJOR JONES: But, in the vital sphere of the financing of rearmament, for instance, he had important decisions to communicate to the Führer and advise the Führer upon, did he not?
LAMMERS: I do not know to what extent the Führer sent for him for I was not present at conferences regarding armament credit and rearmament.
MAJOR JONES: I want to ask you one further question regarding ministerial matters. Ministers without portfolio did continue to receive communications as to the Reich Cabinet, did they not?
LAMMERS: They received texts of subjects up for discussions.
MAJOR JONES: The Defendant Frank, for instance, was a Minister without Portfolio?
LAMMERS: Yes.
MAJOR JONES: He continued to receive communications in his capacity as a Minister without Portfolio?
