| went to a school in the suburbs of Berlin,
and then you were called for duty in the Reich Security Main Office. What were
you first told that you would have to do when you reported to the Reich
Security Main Office? That is all I want to know. DEFENDANT NOSSKE: I reported to office I, of the Reich Security Main Office and they told me there that no decision had been arrived at as to what use I was to be put to. Q.

How often would your committee of your command staff meet for discussions and consolidation of these reports? A.
