MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Well, in any event he rejected your plan for colonial developments?
SCHACHT: Oh, no. I have explained here that upon my urgent request he gave me the order in summer 1936 to take up these colonial matters.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Did you not give these answers in your interrogation, Dr. Schacht?
“Question: ‘In other words, at the time of your talks with Hitler in 1931 and 1932 concerning colonial policy, you did not find him, shall we say, enthusiastic about the possibility?’
“Answer: ‘Neither enthusiastic nor very much interested.’
“Question: ‘But he expressed to you what his views were alternatively to the possibility of obtaining colonies?’
“Answer: ‘No, we did not go into other alternatives.’ ”
Did you give those answers?
SCHACHT: Certainly.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Now, after the Fritsch affair, at least, you knew that Hitler was not intent upon preserving the peace of Europe by all possible means.
