MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: You told your employees that all of the sentiments of this oath were summed up in the allegiance to the man, did you not?
SCHACHT: No.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Is that not what you said?
SCHACHT: No, that is not correct. If you read it again, it does not say to the man but to the leader as the head of State.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Well, no matter what you took the oath to...
SCHACHT: [Interposing.] Excuse me. There is a very great difference.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Well, we will get to that. Whatever you took the oath to, you were breaking it at the very time, were you not?
SCHACHT: No. I never broke the oath to this man as representative of the German people, but I broke my oath when I found out that that man was a criminal.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: When you plotted to cause his death?
SCHACHT: Yes.
