MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Going back to 1933. This is the question:
“Prior to the time that Hitler appointed you as President of the Reichsbank, do you recall a meeting in the home of Göring?
“Answer: ‘Yes. That was a financial meeting. I have been interrogated about that several times already.’
“Question: ‘Tell me about it.’
“Answer: ‘Yes, I will. Hitler had to go to the elections on 5 March, if you will remember, and for these elections he wanted money for the campaign. He asked me to procure the money and I did. Göring called these men together and I made a speech—not a speech, for Hitler made the speech—then I asked them to write down the amounts and to subscribe for the elections, which they did. They subscribed a total of 3 millions and they allocated the sum among themselves.’
“Question: ‘Who were the people who made up that subscription list?’
“Answer: ‘I think that all of them were bankers and industrialists. They represented the chemical industry, iron industry, textile industry, all of them.’
“Question: ‘Representatives of all the industries?’
“Answer: ‘All of them; all of the big industries.’
“Question: ‘Do you recall any of their names?’
