“Question: ‘Nevertheless, Funk did exercise important powers?’
“Answer: ‘Yes, as President of the Reichsbank, Minister of Economics, and Plenipotentiary for Economy.’ ”
Posse was your chief deputy, was he not?
FUNK: Yes, but Posse’s position was somewhat apart. My deputy was Landfried, and in the Reichsbank, Puhl. They knew these things better than Herr Posse.
MR. DODD: Well, all right.
FUNK: They should know more about it than Posse.
MR. DODD: You do not think he really knew what he was talking about when he said you were in the struggle for power? Is that your answer?
FUNK: No.
MR. DODD: [Turning to the Tribunal.] That becomes Exhibit USA-843. We have not offered it up to now.
Now, Mr. Witness, I want to ask you about when you first heard of the impending attack on Russia. I understood you to tell the Tribunal that you heard about it some time—I think you said—in May. Is that right? Or June?
