Germany's Nickel Supplies
As arranged at the meeting on 31
August 1936 in Berlin, we enclose eight copies of the exposé "The
Problem of Supplying Germany with Nickel." Will you please submit the necessary
number of copies to the Reich War Ministry. The remaining copies are intended
for you and Dr. Krauch.
We request you to notify us of the date for an
interview with the government authorities, if possible by return mail. We
should like to stress that at this interview not only the technical experts
should be present, but also the officials competent to decide whether and to
what extent the government is able to promise the refund of the expenses to be
incurred |

* The defendant von
Knieriem testified concerning his relation to the matters set forth in this
letter: "I don't remember this matter. Neither was I present during the
discussion conference of 31 August, when the matter of this expose had been
arranged, nor was I present during the conference which must have taken place
at a later date. Dr. Brendel [cosignatory of the letter] was probably there,
and I merely signed the letter. That is all I can tell you'." (Tr. p. 6646).
