The letter ends as follows:
“I request you to tell me briefly if it would be possible to obtain 1 million tomans from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
It would be possible to transfer this money by people whom we are sending there by airplane.
“Heil Hitler. Your devoted Kaltenbrunner, SS Obergruppenführer.”
The contents of this letter are quite definite. Ribbentrop acknowledged the letter. Are you denying Ribbentrop’s evidence?
KALTENBRUNNER: Not in the least, but I would like to add the following as far as this document is concerned. I cannot remember it easily because it was written in Office VI. I do not know the contents—did not know them until now. I am absolutely sure that I signed it, because it is a letter to a Minister of the Reich which, of course, for reasons of tact, I had to sign personally. As to the subject itself, I am grateful that the last question in this cross-examination is a question which actually refers to my sphere of activities proper. You are the first prosecutor to whom I must be grateful on that account, and who at last can no longer conceal the fact that my agents and my activities extended as far as Iran.
MR. COUNSELLOR SMIRNOV: Is that your signature?
KALTENBRUNNER: Yes.
MR. COUNSELLOR SMIRNOV: I have no further questions to put to this defendant, Mr. President.
THE PRESIDENT: What document is that you put to him then?
