Now, you testified that Hitler authorized you to render your help to Rosenberg. You remember that, do you not?
LAMMERS: Yes, Rosenberg was to take over the political work in connection with Eastern problems.
COL. POKROVSKY: That is correct. What was your help to Rosenberg?
LAMMERS: To begin with, it only meant that I had an interview with him at which he discussed his plans for a possible administration to be established. The Führer had given him instructions to consider how, in the case of war with Russia, the country might be occupied and administered. For this Herr Rosenberg...
COL. POKROVSKY: Witness, wait a moment. I did not ask you what the Führer asked Rosenberg to do. I am asking you, what did the Führer authorize or ask you to do? You said, “To help Rosenberg.” Exactly what form did your help to Rosenberg take? You assisted in... [The witness attempted to interrupt.] Wait a minute. Did you participate in the development—wait a moment, please listen to my question. Did you participate in working out a plan for the economic organization of the Eastern territories?

LAMMERS: I did not take part in working out the organization of the economy.
COL. POKROVSKY: I want you to take a look at Document Number 1056-PS. Do you recall this document now?
[The document was handed to the witness.]
LAMMERS: I must see it first.
COL. POKROVSKY: Yes, that is the reason why it was given to you.
