Letter from unknown sender to Paul H. Gantt, July 21, 1947

OFFICE OF CHIEF OF COUNSELFOR WAR CRIMES APO 696 A Dear Paul; fcurnberg, Germany July 21, IS 4? I've received your letters of July 7, 9, and 11 and I'm very grateful for them. I've routed tnem to DuBole and the other memcere of the Karoen хеши, ihe Ghemnyoo material sounds wonderful as described In letens' letter. Paul, we are running Into the most extraordinary difficul¬ ties ofl translations lmagln&ole. Espionage and propaganda will not be put Into evidence until tne tnird week In September. Accordingly, please have the letens make de¬ tailed summaries of every article transmitted and full translations of every short document. I would suggest. If I may, that you bring back with you a listing of all the Chemnyoo documents whlon you consider probative, but please leave the actual documents witntnem. A We have received everlSlnig4iow except the maps. Ihe bombing survey documents such as the Xrauch White Book, etc. /sound Just wonderful. Have you been able to locate the Cn ^Dulsberg book yet? Also, would you ask Dr. Welsh what proof Z thera Is of the fact that after World War I Farben offered ^•^^ayerl or Germanln to the British Government In exchange for lost colonies. We would like to use the letter in the r openlng but we nave no proof. Also, have you been aole to Q get that Lord Lxmouth document from Welsh m whlon ne de¬ scribes his conversations with Perkins, the English chemist, who said the Germans stole all of the British patents. In addition, what was the source of his quotation of Lord (ъ) ^Chamberlain who spoke in lbbo in favor of compulsory llcWV jCslng of patents In Great Britain and said that the Germane V,' could kill an industry by refusing to give England a license 1'here is very little gossip to report. Nurnoerg is the same dreary place. Flick пае been defending for the past week and Tom, or John W. Lrvm (as ooe Stone calls him) and "Lloyd Paul" Lyon have been cross-examining. Sleraers made an outrageous opening for Weiss claiming that we were pros¬ ecuting poor business men; that a bunch of communists were attempting to try capitalism; that we plunder Germany by die mantling factories far worse than Flick had ever spoliated; and that we killed defenseless civilians Just as we accuse the Germans of doing . Charlie has had a oaby girl and 1 8 In Zurich I think. Joe Stone is as sweet aa ever, ihe Farben learn are Just as crazy as ever. Please give my love to Diok.
