NUMBER 14, PERSONAL AND TOP SECRET, FROM THE PRESIDENT FOR THE
PRIME MINISTER.
I have today sent the following message to Minister Johnson,
Stockholm:
QUOTE: Replying to your message of April 25, 3 a.m., inform
Himmler's agent that the only acceptable terms of surrender by Germany
are unconditional surrender on all fronts to the Soviet Government,
Great Britain and the United States.
If the above stated terms of surrender are accepted the German
forces should surrender on all fronts at once to the local commanders
in the field.
In all theaters where resistance continues the attack of the
Allies upon them will be vigorously prosecuted until complete victory
is attained. UNQUOTE.
