SAUCKEL: I cannot tell you.
M. HERZOG: I submit to you Document Number 824-PS...
THE PRESIDENT: Perhaps you better put that off until after the adjournment.
[The Tribunal recessed until 1400 hours.]
Afternoon Session
M. HERZOG: Mr. President, I believe that Mr. Dodd has a statement to make to the Tribunal.
MARSHAL: May it please the Tribunal, the report is made that the Defendant Jodl is absent.
MR. DODD: Document Number 3057-PS, concerning which M. Herzog questioned the defendant this morning, was in the document book offered by the United States with reference to the slave-labor program, but it was not offered in evidence, and I found the reference in the record at Page 1397 of the transcript for 13 December 1945 (Volume III, Page 494) and the President of the Tribunal particularly asked why we had not read Document 3057-PS. I answered that we had intended to offer it, but that counsel for Sauckel had told me that his client maintained that he had been coerced into the making of the statement, and for that reason we preferred not to offer it, and were not offering it.
THE PRESIDENT: I want to announce that the Tribunal will rise this afternoon at half past 4 to sit in closed session.
