THE PRESIDENT: That was after the last date when the defendants’ counsel were asked for their applications.
SIR DAVID MAXWELL-FYFE: Well, My Lord, I am afraid I have not been able to collect the views of the Prosecution on that point.
My Lord, the substance of that affidavit was contained in Dr. Kauffmann’s speech. I do not think it really has any materiality, I mean that there is any real—that there can be any objection to the affidavit, because I am almost positive I remember this passage occurring, or an equivalent passage, giving the Defendant Jodl’s views on Kaltenbrunner in Dr. Kauffmann’s speech. My Lord, therefore, I do not think we should occupy time discussing it and therefore I think we should let the affidavit go in.
THE PRESIDENT: Very well. Then there is an application from the Defendant Rosenberg for a document entitled “Tradition in Present Times.” That has been objected to as cumulative.
SIR DAVID MAXWELL-FYFE: Yes, My Lord.
THE PRESIDENT: Dr. Thoma, are you wanting to say anything in support of that application or is it sufficiently covered by your speech?
DR. THOMA: I am of the opinion that it has been sufficiently dealt with in my speech.
THE PRESIDENT: Then, Dr. Horn, there are two affidavits, one from Ribbentrop and one from Schulze, not yet put in. Do you want them?
DR. MARTIN HORN (Counsel for Defendant Von Ribbentrop): Mr. President, there must be some mistake about the Schulze affidavit. I have not submitted any Schulze affidavit or made any application for it.
THE PRESIDENT: It was a mistake. Then, as to Ribbentrop’s affidavit, are you asking as to that or have we already dealt with that?
