to accept his inventions have actually been described in France as
the "Makhonine Scandal." I am, however, going to have the data studied more
closely, and am also having investigations made as to how far the inventor has
become known in scientific literature; I then shall take the liberty of
submitting to you a proposal for further action in this matter.
For
the present, we can put at your disposal, as educational and training
material for the Luftwaffe, the charts listed in the enclosed list.¹
Although these charts are mainly meant for automobile engines, what is shown on
them essentially applies also to aircraft engines. Will you kindly let us know
how many copies of these charts you require, and to which offices we are to
send them?
I tentatively suggest the appointment of our Dr.
Ritter² as liaison officer to your C-office.
I remain, with many
kind regards, and Heil Hitler, |
