VON NEURATH: I had no other knowledge of the events which had occurred and therefore could only say what I knew.
THE PRESIDENT: You had the letter, the protest from the British Government, had you not?
VON NEURATH: Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: You knew Sir Nevile Henderson perfectly well?
VON NEURATH: Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: And you then wrote this letter contradicting the statements which had been made on behalf of the British Government; that is right, is it not?
VON NEURATH: Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: And you took no steps to check the facts which had been stated to you by Hitler? Will you answer that, please?
VON NEURATH: Yes. Your Lordship, how was I to do that? There was no one else who knew about it. It was only what Hitler had commissioned me to tell the Foreign Office. The draft of this note was drawn up by the Foreign Office according to the information which I had received from Hitler. I had no other chance to clear this up.
THE PRESIDENT: There were all the other persons who were concerned with the matter whom you could have communicated with, but your statement is that you did nothing?
