FRITZSCHE: Yes.
GEN. RUDENKO: I am going to read it into the record.
THE PRESIDENT: General Rudenko, the Tribunal would like to see the whole of this document, or at any rate would like to see the questions to which these are answers.
GEN. RUDENKO: Mr. President, this document has been submitted to you in full.
THE PRESIDENT: Oh, I see. You mean that what we have in English here are only the parts that have been translated into English?
GEN. RUDENKO: Yes, that is quite correct. I am going to read into the record Extract Number 2:
“I am fully aware that Fritzsche was a prominent collaborator of the Ministry of Propaganda and that he was extremely popular in National Socialist circles and among the German people. He gained great popularity, especially by his weekly war political radio commentaries on the international situation. I often heard Fritzsche’s broadcasts in peacetime as well as during the war; and I perceived his broadcasts, which were filled with fanatical devotion to the Führer, as directives from the Party and the Government.”
Do you agree with this evaluation?
FRITZSCHE: I cannot raise any objection to this quotation, but beyond that...
THE PRESIDENT: General Rudenko, is the document sworn?
