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.
