SAUCKEL: In this German text it says: “In this situation, it is
absolutely necessary that I should again have a free hand.” That means
that I should have a free hand once again, as I had had before the
blocked industries were instituted. That is correct, for I was
interested in a rational use of labor.
M. HERZOG: That is what I asked you to confirm. Did you ask that your
powers should be increased at the expense of those of your Codefendant
Speer? Will you answer “yes” or “no,” if you can?
SAUCKEL: I do not understand the question. Was it obtain them or ask for
them?
