Wickert is part of the East Economic Staff, but is still active in the Reichswirtschaftsministerium at the same time. Since, according to experience, not quite certain insidious cases occur at the Wehrmacht courts with an acquittal, Mr. State Secretary has at another lecture on 12 December. November 194l decided that the matter should be postponed until the Wickert was released from military service. However, according to the last findings Wickert is still under the command of the armed forces. In view of the time which has now elapsed and the fact that there is no prospect of a change in the relationship of responsibility for the foreseeable future, Mr. Secretary of State decided at a recent lecture that a criminal prosecution should be considered, but that the Reich Ministry of Economics should send a photocopy of the affidavit of Dr.°Peikert of the 12th century.
