SCHACHT: I had exactly the full powers which are described in the law.
GEN. ALEXANDROV: Do you admit that these were not ordinary powers, but quite extraordinary powers?
SCHACHT: No, I will not admit this at all.
GEN. ALEXANDROV: In other words, you considered that the Reich Defense Law of 21 May 1935 was just an ordinary law?
SCHACHT: It was simply an ordinary law.
GEN. ALEXANDROV: And you also considered the functions imposed on you by this law as Plenipotentiary for War Economy ordinary functions?
SCHACHT: As very common regulations which are customary with every general staff.
THE PRESIDENT: The Court will adjourn now.
