TWENTY-SECOND DAY
Tuesday, 18 December 1945
Morning Session
COL. STOREY: If the Tribunal please, before adjourning
yesterday afternoon, Your Honors properly asked a question or two about
Documents 3051-PS and 3063-PS, to which I think I have an answer that
will help the Tribunal. Your Honors will recall, with reference to
Document 3051-PS-I believe it might be of assistance to turn to that
document.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes.
COL. STOREY: Your Honors asked yesterday afternoon, since this had to
do with the SD and the SS, how the Party was involved. And I should like
to quote Paragraph Number 1 on Page 2 of the English translation, which
answers this question, and I am quoting:
"The Chiefs of the State Police or
their deputies, upon receipt of this teletype, must get in contact by
telephone with the political administration (Gauleitung or
Kreisleitung) having jurisdiction over their districts and must
arrange a joint meeting with the appropriate inspector or commander of
the Order Police to discuss the organization of the demonstration. At
these discussions the political leaders are to be informed that the
German Police have received from the Reichsführer SS and Chief of
the German Police the following instructions, in accordance with which
the political leaders should adapt their measures."
That had to do with the preparation for the general anti-Jewish
uprisings.
Now, with reference to Document 3063-PS, which follows just below that
one, if Your Honor pleases.
THE PRESIDENT: Very well.
COL. STOREY: That, if you recall, Your Honor, was a report from the
Supreme Party Court Justice Buch to the Defendant Göring concerning
punishment for the uprisings that followed the 9th and 10th of November
demonstration. I should like to quote the portion signed by the
Defendant Göring It is, I believe, the second page of the English
translation. It is dated "Berlin, 22 February 1939":
"Dear Party Member Buch:
