TOT SECRET
Foreign Minister Gunther asked the British Minister
and me to see him at midnight. He informed us that
Swedish Minister Dardel at Copenhagen had advised his
Government that General Schellenberg is arriving at
Stockholm at 10 a.m. today (May 5) with full powers
from Doenitz to arrange for surrender to the Swedes
of German troops in Norway. Mr. Gunther thinks it
most likely that this means internment in Sweden
until these forces can be taken over by the Allies.
Swedish Government would be grateful for a most
immediate expression of the views of the American and
British Governments with respect to this course of
action.
