“I thank you most cordially for kindly transmitting to me the speech you made in Poznan on 5 and 6 February 1943 on the occasion of the Reich and Gauleiters meeting.
“Heil Hitler! Yours.”
Q. Do you recall receiving it from Sauckel on 1 April 1943?
A. No. At the beginning of April I wasn’t there the first few days. I see a remark, by somebody else, on this document. It probably says—I can’t read it very well—“for the files of the Central Planning Board”. Perhaps this letter may have been submitted to me later on—I do not know whether I replied myself. I certainly did not read the report because otherwise I would be able to recall the figures.
Q. But you did initial the letter, didn’t you?
A. I do not know. I do not recall it at all.
Mr. Denney: On the copy that your Honors have, I believe it’s apparent in the upper left-hand corner of the first page, the defendant’s initials appear there, as well as on the original letter.
