MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Did you raise any money or help to organize a loan with Krupp von Bohlen in May of 1933—the Hitler spending fund?
SCHACHT: No.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: How did you answer Krupp von Bohlen’s letter asking you to do so?
SCHACHT: Would you please remind me of what Herr Von Krupp wrote to me at the time?
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Have you the letter of the 29th of May?
SCHACHT: Yes, one moment, please, I have nearly finished. May I reply now? From this...
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: First of all, did you receive such a letter?
SCHACHT: Yes, of course.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: All right. Tell us what happened.
SCHACHT: In that letter Herr Von Krupp informed me that industry and other economic circles, such as agriculture, et cetera, intended to organize a joint Hitler fund in order to combine in one collection the unrestrained Party collections which were making the entire country insecure. He informed me of this, and also of the fact that a board of trustees was to be appointed for this Hitler fund. I want to say that I never joined the board of trustees and was not a member of it. He further informed me that the representatives of the banks, Dr. Fischer and Dr. Mosier, would contact me and inform me about these things. That is all that the letter says.
