:50:00
are in the hands
of these two incompetents.
:50:07
Now, I think you'd better write
that letter to Nordoff,
:50:11
saying that we've discussed
the refinery plan
:50:14
and you'll contact the more influential
members of Parliament and...
:50:20
We can discuss the details later,
can't we?
:50:25
You realize if I'm arrested...
:50:28
...the originals will find their way
to the Gestapo.
:50:32
So if there are any other members
of your department
:50:34
who are suspicious of me,
:50:37
tell them... I'm a real nice fellow.
:50:45
Oh, Willy.
:50:49
You didn't honestly think I was
that bad a bridge player, did you?
:51:00
Kortner was most cooperative.
:51:03
We collaborated on the letter.
I wrote it and he signed it.
:51:08
It was a perfect opportunity to move
on to the second phase of my plan.
:51:12
The letter requested that
I be allowed to make a survey trip
:51:15
of all the refineries in Germany.
:51:17
After all, since I was going
to help the Third Reich
:51:20
by building a refinery in Sweden,
:51:21
it'd be to their advantage
if I became acquainted firsthand
:51:25
with all the latest technical
developments
:51:27
and methods of production.
:51:28
So on my next trip to Berlin,
I went to Gestapo Headquarters
:51:32
to see Nordoff once again.
:51:34
He had referred the request
to the Oil Commission.
:51:37
The baron, who was the chairman,
:51:39
naturally could do nothing
but recommend it.
:51:41
With such auspices,
:51:42
Nordoff was willing to push it up
the ladder for Himmler's approval.
:51:47
When I got to the hotel later,
:51:49
I received a cryptic message
telling me to meet a contact
:51:52
on the embankment of the Spree
River near the Oberbaum Bridge.
