mailing list archive - help needed on locating a letter

Todd,

Don't think there was such a letter from Hitler But there
is a document, false or not, in which the president
of the People's Court, Dr. Freisler (to Bormann),
is writing among other things:

"Am 20.I.M (November 20) hat der Fuehrer von Wolfschanze aus
mir fernmuendlich der Befehl erteilt, die Sache
(against Ernst Juenger, note) nicht weiter zu verfolgen.

Heil Hitler !

Dr Freisler

In der Anlage uebersende ich drei Aktenbaende z. obg. Sache -
der Fuehrer wuenscht sofortige Vorlage."

The document is dated Berlin December 1, 1944.

For a detailed article on this see Document Exclusif: "Ernst Juenger =
face
aux Nazis", Magazine Litteraire, Paris, No. 300, June 1992.

All the best

Bertil
