theaters of war, with consequent devastation.
We arranged to meet the following day in Lübeck
in order to continue the discussion with
Himmler.
I put up at the house of a Danish official,
Amtman Thomsen, in Aabenraa, and there
Brigadeführer Schellenberg called on me the following
morning. He informed me that it was impossible
for Himmler to get to Lübeck: he had departed
for a place north of Bremen and wanted a meeting
there. Schellenberg and I agreed that there was no
point in my proceeding into the actual battle
zone, but that he should go alone to acquaint
Himmler with the situation.
This was on April 28th. When, later in the
afternoon, I sat listening to news from the so-called
“Atlantic” radio station, I heard my own name
mentioned. This was followed by the
announcement that according to reports from London and
New York I had opened negotiations with the
head of the SS, Reichsminister Himmler, for a
German capitulation. My first thought was that
this leak had spoiled everything and that there was
no further possibility of negotiations.
