MR. DODD: And by the way, he was at the same meeting that we have just been talking about. Who was your principal assistant in the Reichsbank?
FUNK: Puhl.
MR. DODD: He was a holdover from the Schacht days, was he not?
FUNK: Yes.
MR. DODD: Did you induce him to remain? Did you ask him to remain?
FUNK: No.
MR. DODD: You said that you selected your personnel. That is what you told the Tribunal this morning.
FUNK: No. Puhl remained and also Kretschmann and Wilhelm.
MR. DODD: I am not interested in going through your roster of personnel. I am only asking—and I will tell you the purpose. Puhl was a reliable banking man, was he not? He was well known in the international banking circles. He had been offered a position in the Chase Bank in New York at one time, did you know that?
FUNK: No, I did not know that.
