KALTENBRUNNER: I would like to add that of course certain matters existed of which I had to be informed for several reasons, for instance the great domestic political event, the plot of 20 July 1944 of course; I was informed in such cases, not through Amt IV but through...
COL. AMEN: I am speaking of the general course of activity and not of any special exceptions, you understand.

COL. AMEN: I ask that the defendant be shown a document, L-50, which will become Exhibit Number USA-793.
[The document was submitted to the defendant.]
THE PRESIDENT: Hasn’t this been put in before?
