MR. DODD: All right. Well, that is all right. I just wanted to get your answer...
FUNK: I did not speak of Poland.
MR. DODD: Well, that is the only war that was on when you made this speech. It was October 1939.
FUNK: The preparations were not made for a specific war, it was...
MR. DODD: All right.
FUNK: It was a general preparation.
MR. DODD: Now, actually you and Göring were even in a contest for power to some extent, were you not? Was the Göring door one of those that you were also trying to get in? You can answer that very simply. You told us you were trying to get in these various doors, but you would get up there and never get in. I now ask you if the Göring door was one of those.
FUNK: I do not believe that I was so presumptuous as to want to get Göring’s post. That was far from being my intention. I had very little ambition at all.
MR. DODD: I did not say that you wanted to get his post, but you wanted to get some of his authority, did you not? Or do you not remember? Maybe that is the solution.
FUNK: No.
