Boheman informed Malvet and me that Schellenberg
expressed belief Doenitz and Himmler and so-called
German Government intended yesterday to go Bohemia.
Schellenberg has further expressed wish to get in

such capitulation has hitherto not been ordered (my
1699, May 5, 2 p.m.) He advanced as a reason the
