THE PRESIDENT: Of which department?
PUHL: The Treasury Department.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. The witness can retire.
[The witness left the stand.]
Dr. Siemers.
DR. SIEMERS: Admiral Raeder, will you come up to the witness stand?
[The Defendant Raeder took the stand.]
May I remind you that I put the basic question whether the construction of the Navy was to serve aggressive or defensive purposes.
The witness wishes to answer that question by referring to parts of the speech he made in 1928. It is Exhibit Number Raeder-6, Document Book 1, Page 5, and the speech itself begins on Page 17.
Please go ahead.
