FRITZSCHE: That does not hold quite true. Years before the war Dr. Goebbels saw Hitler, without doubt, only rarely.
DR. THOMA: I have another question. Do you know that Goebbels had a direct telephone line to Hitler?
FRITZSCHE: That is news to me. This is the first time I heard of it.
THE PRESIDENT: Dr. Thoma, this has nothing to do with Rosenberg, has it, the fact that Goebbels had a direct line to Hitler?
DR. THOMA: Mr. President, I wanted only to ask Fritzsche by that whether Rosenberg had the same connection with Hitler as Goebbels.
FRITZSCHE: I do not know what telephone lines Rosenberg had, but I know and I have heard frequently that Rosenberg seldom visited Hitler.
DR. THOMA: Thank you very much.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there any other defendant’s counsel who wants to ask questions?
[There was no response.]
THE PRESIDENT: Then we will recess.
