Is that right?
FRITZSCHE: Yes.
GEN. RUDENKO: Does that not indicate the confidence Goebbels had in you? Is that not right?
FRITZSCHE: No doubt he had a great deal of confidence in me, and I did not deny it.
GEN. RUDENKO: Very well. Let us proceed.
In this very same document, which I have just mentioned to you, that is to say, in your statement of 7 January 1946, in Paragraph 35 there is the following sentence—I think it was written by your own hand. It was in reply to some of the questions put by your counsel. You say, “More and more I became the only official authority in the Ministry in the field of radio communication.”
Is that right?
FRITZSCHE: Unfortunately I did not hear the end of your question but you have quoted the passage correctly and I have written it.
GEN. RUDENKO: So, it does correspond to facts?
FRITZSCHE: Yes, absolutely.
