                         The doctor urged me to come to Germany to discuss Himmler's position with 
 
him, and to see whether a settlement might not be possible. He indicated clearly that, on certain 
 
conditions, Himmler was prepared to overthrow Hitler, and that he was the only man who had 
 
power to do so in Germany. I told him that, I did not represent the American government, and 
 
that I did not even know what the current policies of the American government were, and that on 
 
this account, it would be pointless for me to talk with Himmler. The doctor then suggested that I 
 
return to Washington, familiarize myself with the position of the American government and come 
 
back to Europe.
 
                         He mentioned to me that Himmler was organizing his government within the SS, 
 
and that his two chief advisors on foreign affairs were Ober Fuehrer Walter Schellenberg and Dr. 
 
Braun; that he would be glad to get one of these men to come to Stockholm to confirm what he
 
had been saying to me. Within a couple of days, he told me that Schellenberg was in Stockholm 
 
and would like to see me.
