Memorandum from Charles Lyon to D Sprecher, et. Al., September 4, 1947

4 September 1947 49 гаовыгосм TO: See Distribution FRCH: Charles Ьуоп B5: Surest ed research project or the Slevorg ding- (P.«: Medical experiments and Circle of Friends of Himmler. ) Testerday Mr. В err attempted to interrogate Slerers with no success whatever. Slerers sees no reason why he should talk when the prosecution has already пяЛе It clear that they do not consider his statements trustworthy. In preparing for this attempt to interrogate Slerers. I looked again at the diaries of Slerers, particularly for the days when meetings of the Circle of Friends of Himmler were held. I was reminded of the wealth of detail a8 to subjects and personalities which appears In these diaries for the years 1941 through 1944. I s«w sever" 1 entries. Just looking raoidly through other portions of the diaries at random, which indicate that It should be examined carefully, especially by neople interested In the subjects listed abore. For example, there were sereral references to conferences of Slerers with Meyer of the Drssdner Bank, many conferences between Slerers and Xeppler (some, as I recall indicating interest in medical matters), and at least one reference to drugs to promote blood coagulation (discussed by Pohl at a meeting of the Circle of Friends of Himmler - - whether orivately with 8iev*rs or in the larger Circle is not dear). There are also numerous references to resettlement matters which might be of interest to the RDBH4 case. I think serious thought should be giren to a research projoct for very careful screening of the Sievers diaries by a team of good and thoroughly briefed research analysts from Dresdner Bank and F^rben teams and possibly from other divisions- The Flick Team does not have manpower to undertake such a Job but might be an incidental beneficiary. I would be glad to discuss this possibility with you further if you think it worthwhile. cc: Mr. D. Sprecher Mr. R. England Mr. Minskoff Ceil .
