MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: All right, what was the other aim?
SCHACHT: To keep Germany alive, to assure employment for Germany, to obtain sufficient food for Germany.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Which was your dominant aim?
SCHACHT: The food supply in Germany and work for the export industry.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Well, I should like to go over one or two of these documents with you as to your aim. I refer to Document 1168-PS of May 3, 1935.
SCHACHT: Yes.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Title, “Financing of Armament,” Exhibit Number USA-37.
“The following comments are based on the assumption that the completion of the armament program in regard to speed and extent is the task of German policy and that accordingly everything else must be subordinated to this aim, insofar as this main goal is not endangered, by neglecting other questions.”
Did you write that?
SCHACHT: Not only did I write it, but I handed it to Hitler personally. It is one of twin documents, one of which has already been submitted in evidence and discussed in detail by the Prosecution. I did not receive the second document.
