It all depends on the CONTEXT.
1.It could be a question.
1a. Thats what HE said? Hot ER gezugt. (emphasize he or er and go up on
said or gezugt) To emphase the person who said it.
1b. That's what he SAID? Hot er GEZUGT? (go up on said or gezugt)
To emphasize what was said.
2.Or for exclamation.
2a. That's what HE said!! Hot ER gezugt!(emphasize he and said or er and
gezugt) To emphasize the person who said it.
2b. That's what he SAID! Hot er GEZUGT! (emphasize said or gezugt and also
emphasize said or gezugt) To emphasize what was said.
Or simply, That's what he said. No emphasis on any word.
Language can be simply complicated.
