Description:
The French authorities have warned him that the Nazis were likely to raid his flat (on the outskirts of Paris) and that he should move any documents of value to a place of safety. His private correspondence and address book at now stored at the Quai d'Orsay. Three armed detectives have been detailed to protect him. One sleeps in his room. The Gestappa think the French embassy is helping him and will try and make things difficult for the French Ambassador, Poncet.
The Dictatorship has succeeded in imposing almost complete secrecy about the terror (it has grown much worse) except on the MG. It is determined to silence the Manchester Guardian. Had the Gestappa been able to seize his documents, hundreds of arrests would have resulted.
The Gestappa fear Max Braun, the Socialist leader in the Saar, and his assassination has just been attempted.
W. [Wadsworth] is there but is isolated, all his contacts seem to have vanished. He thinks they will be able to arrange something workable in time. The present terrorist wave exceeds anything that has been seen before in Germany. Hundreds of men and women have been beaten up in the last few weeks. He emphasises that the MG must report this.
Tyrell thinks that war is only a matter of time. The Wilhelmstrasse talks about the possibility of the restoration of the German Empire. The Wilhelmstrasse and many of the army leaders care nothing about Hitler and dislike the dictatorship. He expands on this.
