THE PRESIDENT: Yes, certainly.
DR. NELTE: You heard what I said, and I ask you, can you confirm the answers given by Admiral Dönitz to my questions on 9 May for the period before 1943 as well?
RAEDER: Yes, that I can do.
DR. NELTE: Now, I have one final question. During your testimony Document L-79, the “Little Schmundt” file, was treated. You objected to this document as inaccurate and not of probative value?
RAEDER: Yes.
DR. NELTE: Dr. Siemers then quoted a part of that document which the Prosecution, at the time when it submitted the document, had not read. In that part of the document there is mention of a research staff in the OKW.
RAEDER: Yes.
DR. NELTE: I ask you now to tell me whether such a research staff in the OKW was ever actually created.
RAEDER: Not to my knowledge. The work was done by the Armed Forces Operations Staff in which there were officers representing all three branches of the Armed Forces.
DR. NELTE: So there was no change in the scope of tasks and in the division of jurisdiction?
