Shortly thereafter, I was made a soldier and asked to be sent to the 6th Army and was sent to the Ukraine.
DR. FRITZ: Did you...
THE PRESIDENT: Wait a minute. I did not understand that last sentence. Heydrich said, “Believe me, Herr Fritzsche...” and then...
FRITZSCHE: May I repeat: “...anyone who has the reputation of being cruel does not have to be cruel; he can act humanely.”
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, but then you went on about going to the 6th Army?
FRITZSCHE: Yes, shortly thereafter I became a soldier...
DR. FRITZ: He added, Mr. President, that shortly after this meeting with Heydrich, he himself, that is the Defendant Fritzsche, became a soldier and he specifically asked to be detailed to the 6th Army which at that time was stationed in the Ukraine.
THE PRESIDENT: What was the date of this incident?
FRITZSCHE: February-March 1942.
DR. FRITZ: When you were a soldier in the Ukraine, did you try to check the statements of Heydrich as to their correctness?
