SIR DAVID MAXWELL-FYFE: That was your first protest.
RAEDER: It was not my first protest. That is twisting my words.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there any other cross-examination?
COL. POKROVSKY: On 18 May 1946, during the morning session of the Tribunal you testified that during your service as Commander-in-Chief of the Navy you twice made application to resign. The first time you tried to resign was in November 1938 when you were dealing with the building up of the Navy, and Hitler was not pleased with your plans, and the second time was when Hitler, without your knowledge, permitted his adjutant who was a naval officer to marry a certain young girl. Is that not so?
RAEDER: Yes, but I put in further applications for resignation which were not so sensational, once in 1937, and I believe even in 1935, when I was not in good health. But these were two typical examples which show how such things came about.
COL. POKROVSKY: I understood that in the first of these two cases Hitler finally persuaded you not to resign.
RAEDER: Yes.
COL. POKROVSKY: And in the second case, he complied with your wish but he never forgot it.
RAEDER: Yes.
COL. POKROVSKY: In fact, you resigned only in January 1943, is that not so?
