THE PRESIDENT: And what was the occasion of the protest?
KEITEL: It was made in connection with another crisis in our relationship during which he had expressed his distrust, and in connection with the current controversies on basic matters of the conduct of the war.
THE PRESIDENT: But when?
KEITEL: I believe it was in 1940—1939-1940, in the winter of 1939-40.
THE PRESIDENT: And you cannot say more about it than that it was made on basic matters?
KEITEL: I clearly asked for permission to resign on account of the accusations made against me and for the reasons which I was quoting.
THE PRESIDENT: That is all. The defendant can return to his seat.
[The defendant left the stand.]
DR. NELTE: May I ask permission to submit the two documents to the Tribunal? I mentioned them before.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, certainly. Are you going to call in any more witnesses?
