MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: And we find you administering an oath to the employees to be faithful and obedient.
Now, I ask you if you did not make this statement in interrogation:
“Question: ‘But you make this statement at the end of the oath, after everybody has raised his hand and made his oath. Did you say the following, “You have taken this pledge. A bad fellow he who breaks it”?’
“Answer: ‘Yes, I agree to that and I must say that I myself broke it.’
“Question: ‘Do you also say that at the time that you urged this upon the audience, that you already were breaking it?’
“Answer: ‘I am sorry to say that within my soul I felt very shaken in my loyalty already at that time, but I hoped that things would turn out well at the end.’ ”
SCHACHT: I am glad that you quote this because it confirms exactly what I have just said; that I was in a state of doubt and that I still had hope that everything would come out all right; that is to say, that Hitler would develop in the right direction. So it confirms exactly what I have just said.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Well, I am sure we want to be helpful to each other, Dr. Schacht.
SCHACHT: I am convinced that both of us are trying to find the truth, Mr. Justice.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Now, you remained in the Reichsbank after this Anschluss, of course?
