M E M O R A N D U M November 3, 1941 TO: Preston E. James FROM: Henry S. Sterling SUBJECT: Mp on German Expansion In accordance with your request, we have searched the back files of Zeitschrift fur Geopolitik and the numbers back to the last war of the principal bibliographies. While we have many general references to German aspirations in the New World, only one published map has been found, prior to the last few months. That was in Otto Richard Tannenberg's Grossdeutschland, published in 1911. I enclose photostat of Tannenberg's map which appears on page 255. After 1911 there is a gap in our findings until the publication of a map in the New York Daily Mirror for August 25, 1941, said to be identical with maps found in a raid on a German welfare association headquarters in Rosario, Argentina on August 1st. This map was reprinted after the President's talk, on October 3Oth. Photostats of the map and accompanying text were sent you on Saturday. The only other map is that published in PM on the day following the President's Navy Day talk. (signed) Henry S. Sterling Enclosure HS.jp |
