DR. KAUFFMANN: Just now you mentioned Müller. Do you mean Gestapo Chief Müller?
SEYSS-INQUART: Yes.
DR. KAUFFMANN: Did you have the impression that this man really held the reins as far as Security Police matters were concerned?
SEYSS-INQUART: I can only say that I know that in the course of that telephone conversation Kaltenbrunner said to Müller: “What will you decide in this case?”
DR. KAUFFMANN: Then you received military and political reports directly from Kaltenbrunner? Is that true?
SEYSS-INQUART: Yes, quite often. Those were the very secret reports of which only four copies were made, I believe.
DR. KAUFFMANN: Was this the case before Kaltenbrunner’s nomination?
SEYSS-INQUART: No. Kaltenbrunner only introduced these reports at the end of 1943 or 1944, if I remember rightly.
DR. KAUFFMANN: What was the difference between those reports and the reports formerly prepared by Canaris?
SEYSS-INQUART: I know nothing about the Canaris reports, or very little. I know them from the former Reich Security Main Office.
