VON SCHIRACH: Mr. Attorney, I am afraid I have to correct you. I never tried to report to Hitler about my successes, but only about my problems.
DR. SAUTER: Problems, yes.
VON SCHIRACH: About that entire program of evacuation of children I could only report to him twice; the first time in 1940, after I had got the whole program under way, and the second time in 1941, when the evacuation had reached very large proportions.
And about Vienna I could only report on very rare occasions, and in 1943 the possibility of reporting ceased altogether with the breach of relations which I will describe later.
DR. SAUTER: Then, during your period in Vienna you became the Chairman of the Würzburg Bibliophile Society.
VON SCHIRACH: That is an honorary office, the Würzburg Bibliophile Convention had appointed me Chairman of the German Bibliophile Society.
DR. SAUTER: Your Honor, Schirach—Number Schirach-1 of the document book makes reference to that matter, and I submit it as a piece of evidence. It it an affidavit by an old anti-Fascist, Karl Klingspor, an honorary member of the society, who gives valuable information about the character of the Defendant Von Schirach.
And in addition, Herr Von Schirach, I believe you were the Chairman of the Southeast Europe Society, is that correct?
VON SCHIRACH: Yes.
DR. SAUTER: In brief, what was the mission of that society?
