DDE/SS 18 April, 1945. Dear George: °41 Thank you a lot for informing me about the new camp you found near Weimar. I suggest that every visitor coming into that region should be urged to see the place if it is at all possible to ar- range trips for them. I thoroughly approve of the letter you wrote to your corps commanders except as to your flatter- ing reference to myself. 1 was anxious only that your troops know how auch I approve of their splendid accomplishments. Right now you are getting set for the drive in a slightly new direction, but I cannot be quite certain yet when I can pull the trigger for that one. I have another task that I aust make sure is performed before I can let you go. with best of luck and warm regards. Sincerely, Lt. General George S. Patton, Jr. Commanding General Third U. S. Army APO 403, 0. S. Army 696
