DR. DIX: Raeder?
SCHACHT: Herr Raeder, I believe I have known him for quite some time. In the beginning we exchanged occasional visits within the family, visits of a semiofficial character but always on a friendly basis; however, I believe that I have also not seen him or talked to him since 1938.
DR. DIX: Brauchitsch?
SCHACHT: I have not talked with Brauchitsch since 1939, or since 1938, since the Fritsch affair.
DR. DIX: How about Halder?
SCHACHT: As you know, I saw Halder in connection with the Putsch in the fall of 1938 but not after that.
DR. DIX: How often did you see Hitler after your dismissal as President of the Reichsbank?
SCHACHT: After my dismissal as President of the Reichsbank?
DR. DIX: Since January 1939.
SCHACHT: I saw him once more in January 1939 because I had to discuss my future activity, et cetera, with him. And on that occasion he asked me—he knew that I had long wished to take an extensive journey—that I might avail myself of this opportunity to take this journey now, so there would not be so much talk about my leaving the Reichsbank. Then we agreed on the trip to India. On that occasion I also saw Göring for the last time. And then—after my return in August, I did not see him again—then the war came, during the course of which I saw him twice.
