Next question: You also worked on the reorganization of the Caucasus, and you had organized a special staff. Will you answer “yes” or “no”?
ROSENBERG: Yes.
GEN. RUDENKO: Furthermore, you favored Prince Bagration-Mukhransky, an adventurer from the emigré circle, as candidate for the throne of Georgia. Is that true? Answer briefly.
ROSENBERG: Yes, that is true. We did mention that—we spoke about him—but we turned down such a candidacy.
GEN. RUDENKO: He was turned down. Is that so? Very well.
As regards the reorganization of the Caucasus, on 27 July 1942 you compiled a special report; is that true?
ROSENBERG; It may be that a report was made. Yes—yes, naturally, it is quite a lengthy report. It has been submitted here.
GEN. RUDENKO: And I will show you this report in order to draw your attention to one short quotation.
[Turning to the President.] I have in mind, Mr. President, a document which has already been submitted as Exhibit USSR-58.
[Turning to the defendant.] Defendant Rosenberg, please pay attention to Page 7, a passage which is marked, which says first that the German Reich must seize all the oil. Have you found this passage?
