SIR DAVID MAXWELL-FYFE: Yes, but German students came there and could take their degrees in German? It was a permitted language? I suggest to you that there are thousands of people who went there from Austria and from the old Reich—went there as Germans and took their degrees in German.
VON NEURATH: Yes, only the old German university, the so-called Charles University, was closed by the Czechs. But a German department, or whatever one might call it, still remained. The Germans studied and took their examinations there.
SIR DAVID MAXWELL-FYFE: I think the point is clear. I am not going to argue about the actual thing, but that there was a German university, where German students could study, you will agree.
THE PRESIDENT: Do the Prosecution wish to cross-examine further?
STATE COUNSELLOR OF JUSTICE M. Y. RAGINSKY (Assistant Prosecutor for the U.S.S.R.): Defendant, tell us please, when you were Minister of Foreign Affairs did Ribbentrop try to intervene in the foreign affairs of Germany?
VON NEURATH: Is that a question?
MR. COUNSELLOR RAGINSKY: Yes, that is a question.
VON NEURATH: Yes.
MR. COUNSELLOR RAGINSKY: Would you please tell us in what form this intervention took place?
VON NEURATH: By communicating to the Führer his own ideas on foreign policy, without giving them to me for consideration.
