THE PRESIDENT: Will you ask him whether he has read it now and whether it is true.
M. HERZOG: I asked you a few moments ago, and I ask you now: Are you ready to confirm that your statements are correct?
SAUCKEL: These statements are not correct in individual points, and I asked that I might correct these various points; but I was not given the time to do that.
On the last morning before I left I was told I could discuss this matter in Nuremberg, and when I was interrogated here I told the American officer about the matter.
THE PRESIDENT: M. Herzog, was this document read over in the Tribunal during the prosecution?
M. HERZOG: This document was submitted under Exhibit Number USA-223.
DR. SERVATIUS: Mr. President, as far as I recall this document was not submitted. At the time I had a conversation with the American representative of the Prosecution and told him about these objections. He did not bring it up at a later session because of these objections; and the President himself, at the conclusion, asked whether this document would not be produced, and the prosecutor said, “No. Having talked it over with the Defense, I will dispense with this document.”
THE PRESIDENT: Well, you tell us that it wasn’t read over in court.
DR. SERVATIUS: No, it was not read in court. At any rate I would like to object to the admissibility of this document, for it was given under duress.
THE PRESIDENT: Under these circumstances, M. Herzog, you may cross-examine in what way you like upon the document. The Tribunal was under the impression that it had already been read over. That is why they stopped you reading it.
