Dr. Eilers’ Trip ¹
Dr. Eilers telephoned on 6
August from Schkopau and informed us that he has returned without accomplishing
anything. It was impossible for him to get near the Voronezh plant, as up to
now SK-2 was not in German possession. As far as he could find out, the plant
is very much destroyed. Besides, according to the information given by
deserters, all the installations and the specially skilled workers were removed
to the East in the summer of last year.
Dr. Eilers is working again in
Schkopau and has to attend to some business regarding PCU² in the near
future. Dr. E. would like to give you a short personal report about his
impressions. I suggested to Dr. E. that he should come to Ludwigshafen after
the 24th. Could you perhaps find a quarter of an hour for Dr. Eilers in your
program for the 25th? In that case I would inform Dr. Eilers accordingly.
