: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.
:52:25
Hello...
:52:32
Well! There hasn't been
a welcome like that
:52:35
since Lindbergh landed in Paris.
:52:37
Just in...
:52:43
In case you're being followed.
:52:44
Keep it up.
The whole Gestapo's behind me.
:52:52
There was someone following me
in the subway, but I think I lost him.
:52:56
We'd better go.
