ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FOURTH DAY
Saturday, 1 June 1946
Morning Session
DR. KUBUSCHOK: May I ask permission for the Defendant Von Papen to be absent on Monday and Tuesday to prepare his case.
He will be represented by my colleague Dr. Nelte.
[The witness Timm resumed the stand.]
DR. SERVATIUS: Witness, yesterday we were speaking, at the end, of the staff conferences. I should like to leave this question now, but we will come back to it later when we talk about controls. First, I should like you to explain the relationship of Sauckel’s office to the higher authorities. Whom did Sauckel come under?
TIMM: The Plenipotentiary General for the Allocation of Labor was under the Delegate for the Four Year Plan.
DR. SERVATIUS: And what did he have to do with Hitler?
TIMM: The Plenipotentiary General kept in the closest touch with Hitler, and as far as possible he presented his plans to Hitler at personal discussions.
DR. SERVATIUS: Was there a constant connection with the Four Year Plan through a liaison man, or how was that done?
