In Exhibit USA-206, Document 3044-PS, which has been submitted already,
the following documents of Volume II are contained, which I shall read
later: Sauckel-7, 10, 14, 18, 19, 27, and 41.
The documents which have not been read yet are in the official
collections of laws. I have had the individual laws laid aside in the
library. I do not know whether it is necessary to submit them
individually, or whether it is sufficient for me to state here in what
volume of the _Reichsgesetzblatt_ they can be found.
THE PRESIDENT: Are they in your document book?
DR. SERVATIUS: Yes. They are short excerpts from the official legal
gazettes. In each case the relevant passages have been extracted.
THE PRESIDENT: Dr. Servatius, I think it would be convenient if you gave
their exhibit numbers, if they are in your book; but I do not quite
understand how you are arranging these. You told us that Number 1
contained a great number of other numbers. Now is Number 1 the exhibit
number?
DR. SERVATIUS: Number 1 is the exhibit number, and this exhibit contains
these documents with the numbers they have in the document book.
THE PRESIDENT: In the books?
DR. SERVATIUS: Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I understand. So that you are only submitting—up
to the present you have only got as far as nine exhibits.
DR. SERVATIUS: Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: And then you are going to give these various laws which
you have in your books additional exhibit numbers. They will be 10 to...
DR. SERVATIUS: I did not know whether it was necessary to submit these
Reich legal gazettes as exhibits. As far as I know they have already
been submitted because they are an official collection of laws from the
_Reichsgesetzblatt_ of 1942 and 1940. Of course, I can take out these
individual issues and submit them here.
THE PRESIDENT: Would it not be best if you submitted them as, say,
Exhibit 10, and then told us the numbers in your books which are
contained in Number 10?
DR. SERVATIUS: Then it would be necessary to submit the original text of
the collection of laws. I wanted to avoid that.
THE PRESIDENT: We can take judicial notice of them.
DR. SERVATIUS: Then I ask the Tribunal to take judicial notice of them.
I shall point out in what volumes these documents can be found. That
will be _Reichsgesetzblatt 1942_ in which Documents Sauckel-8, 11, and
17 are contained; _Reichsgesetzblatt 1940_ which contains Document
Sauckel-45; _Reichsgesetzblatt 1943_, which contains Document
Sauckel-21...
THE PRESIDENT: Wait a minute. Which was the first _Reichsgesetzblatt_?
The one which contained 8, 11, and 17?
