Archive/File: imt/nca/nca-06/nca-06-3708-ps Last-Modified: 1997/08/02 Nazi Conspiracy & Aggression, Volume VI Translation of Document 3708-PS [Page 419] BERND VON BRAUCHITSCH NURNBERG 16.11.1945 SWORN STATEMENT Luftflottenchefs have the same status as the Oberbefehlshaber of an army. During the war they had no territorial authority and accordingly exercised no territorial jurisdiction. [Page 420] They were the highest troop commanders of the air force units subordinate to them and were directly under the command of the Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force. Until the summer of 1944 they bore the designation "Befehlshaber" and from then on that of "Oberbefehlshaber." This change of designation carried with it no change in the functions and responsibilities which they previously had. [signed] BRAUCHITSCH CITY OF NURNBERG: SS Before me, Walter H. Rapp, Captain, Cavalry, ASN 0-454231, an officer duly qualified to take oaths, appeared Colonel Bernd von Brauchitsch, to me known, who in my presence signed the foregoing "Erklaerung" (statement) consisting of one page in the German language, and swore that the same was true on the 20th day of November 1945. [signed] Walter H. Rapp WALTER H. RAPP Captain, CAV O-454231
