presided over first by the Defendant Von Neurath, and
subsequently by the Defendant Von Ribbentrop.
If we proceed down below the elongation under the smaller box
dealing with German legations, there should, of course, in any
itemized, detailed treatment of that box appear the name of the
Defendant Von Papen, the representative of the Reich in Austria for a
time, and later in Turkey.
The next box on the horizontal line is the Ministry of Economics,
(the Reichswirtschaftsministerium). First is the name of the
Defendant Schacht, followed by the name of the Defendant Göring,
and by the name of the Defendant Funk. The next box, the Ministry for
Armament and War Production (the Reichsministerium fur Rüstung
und Kriegsproduktion), was presided over by the Defendant Speer. And
out of this organization, and subordinate to it, in the box devoted

others, of the Defendant Sauckel, who besides being the Gauleiter of
Thuringia, was also the Reichsstatthalter or Governor there. There
would also appear the name of the Defendant Von Schirach, who was not
only the Gauleiter of Vienna, but also the State representative
there--the Governor--the Reichsstatthalter of Vienna.
And springing out of the Ministry of the Interior is the box or
boxes devoted to the German police, and in the first sub-division
appearing to the right, the Chief of the Security Police and SD, the
name of the Defendant Kaltenbrunner.
In the Ministry of Propaganda, about midway down in this box,
