DR. SAUTER: And this Dr. Felber whom you mentioned was an official of the Regierungspräsident?

HOEPKEN: Yes, an official of the Regierungspräsident.

DR. SAUTER: And when such a document as you have there arrived, where did the post office or any other agency deliver it? Was it delivered to you or did the Regierungspräsident have his own office for incoming mail, or how was it?

HOEPKEN: I already said that they must have been sent directly to the office of the Regierungspräsident, who had his own office for incoming mail.

DR. SAUTER: How can you tell that the Defendant Von Schirach had no knowledge of these documents?

HOEPKEN: Because he did not initial these documents. If documents were submitted to him, they were initialed “z.K.g.”—noted—“B.v.S.,” and that does not appear on these documents.

THE PRESIDENT: Dr. Sauter, I do not think the Prosecution suggested that they were initialed by Von Schirach. It was quite clearly brought out in Von Schirach’s evidence that he had not initialed them, and that fact was not challenged by Mr. Dodd.

DR. SAUTER: Mr. President, I believe it is a decisive point whether Defendant Von Schirach had any knowledge of these documents.

THE PRESIDENT: Why do you keep asking whether they were initialed by him or not? That fact, as I have pointed out, has already been proved and not challenged.

DR. SAUTER: Witness, I have here an additional collection of documents under Number 3876-PS. They are additional reports from the Chief of the Security Police. There is another address on these. It says here, among other things: “To the Reich Defense Commissioner for the Defense District XVII”—that was Vienna—“for the attention of Oberregierungsrat Dr. Fischer in Vienna.”
