Judge Harding: Dr. Rothenberger, with reference to the time you submitted your memorandum to Albrecht,[268] when did this speech of Hitler declaring himself the supreme law lord of Germany occur? What is the relationship between the time you submitted your memorandum and his speech?
Defendant Rothenberger: The Hitler speech was delivered on 26 April [1942].[269] When my memorandum reached Hitler’s hands, I cannot say.
Q. When did you submit it to Albrecht?
A. I can gather that only from the date which is below the memorandum and that is 31 March; in other words, I probably gave the memorandum to Albrecht during the month of April without knowing exactly when it was and also without knowing when Albrecht succeeded in putting it in Hitler’s hands. I don’t know that.
Q. It was submitted to Albrecht before you knew anything about this speech of 26 April?
A. Yes, that is certain.
