Trial of the Major War Criminals before International Military Tribunal ...

By letter of August 18th, 1945 to the Czechoslovak Ambassador
in London, the British Foreign Office on behalf of all four Powers,
signatories to the Agreement of August Sth, 1945, asked also for
such an official document as wished in the letter of Justice Jackson
quoted above.
Complying with these demands I already sent on September 15th.
1945 to the four Chief Prosecutors preliminarily Part I1 and Part 111
of the Czechoslovak Report referring to paras.2 and 3 of Justice
Jackson's letter.
,The present document is a complete Report containing four parts:
(a) Part I ad para.. 1 page 3 of Justice Jackson's letter quoted above.
(b) Part 11. ad para 2 of the letter
(c) Part 111. ad para 3 of the letter and
(d) Part IV ad para 4 of the letter.
Furthermore, Part IV contains a short final chapter dealing with
the question of personal and criminal responsibility for acts described
in the Report.
Finally a set of various official German documents e.g. Acts,
Decrees, Orders, Ordinances etc. is annexed to the Report.-
The statements of persons interrogated by me in Germany or
in Mondorff in Luxembourg (K.H.Frank, B.Voss, J.v.Ribbentrop,
W.Keitel), are in the files of the War Crimes Branch, USFET, at
Wiesbaden, to whom I sent them immediately after the interrogations.
My Government reserve the right alternatively to supplement or
change one or other paragraph in time, when necessary. The Report
does not and cannot cover the whole German criminality against
Czechoslovakia.
Thereby I have the honour to submit on behalf of the

Prosecutors and various other authorities concerned, as an official
Czechoslovak Report for the prosecution and for the trial of the
German major war criminals according to the Agreement of four
powers of August 8th, 1945.
