15:30 = 3:30 PM Excellent contralto. Nevertheless Italian voices are best in the world. Italians have wonderful voices. Either that is from the sea, from a warm sea, either from the Italian sky. This is like some mysticism. - This clock is slow. - No, it is accurate. Well this means, my watch is too fast. For two minutes. I hate waiting! Outstanding contralto! Good day. -Did you have lunch? -Yes, we did. Thank you. Allen Dulles. The chief of US strategic forces in Europe. - What an excellent day it is today! - Yes, it is an excellent day. We are waiting for one more of our colleagues. As soon as he is here we will start the talks. He'll be here in a minute. General, you are aware that, - the war is lost by Germany? - Yes, I understand that we lost the war. Even though the war is, practically, lost by us, Germans, I still don't like to begin these negotiations with such agonizing thought for me. You must realize, that we'll only talk to you if you would consider the idea - of unconditional German surrender? - I understand that. I do understand that. But if you, nevertheless, want to speak to us on behalf of Mr. Himmler, then negotiations will interrupt, without having begun. And Mr. Dulles will leave right away. I consider that the continuation of fighting is a crime before the German people and before the European culture. Especially now, When we undertook steps for these talks. - You, Germans, undertook those steps! - We did them together. America and Germany. I am ready to grant at your disposal my military organization. This is the most powerful organization in Germany which made of SS and SD. At the disposal of you and your allies. In order to put an end to the war and not to allow a creation of Communist regimes both in Italy and in Germany. Probably before beginning conversations with me and going ahead with these official talks, although they secret ones, you did establish for yourselves that my title is obergruppenfyurer SS. And my rank is a chief of the personal staff of reichsfyurer Himmler. You said that you would transfer at our disposal troops SS and SD, Does this mean that you will begin fighting Wehrmacht, the army? In particular, the field marshal Kesselring? Will Kesselring carry out your orders? I understand you, Mr. Gevernitz. But to me it is necessary your guarantees, so that I could begin my talks with field marshal Kesselring thoroughly and in details. This is reasonable. You must understand that as soon as he will give an order about the capitulation here, in Italy, where to us are subordinated almost 2 million army people, immediately will begin a chain reaction at other fronts. In Norway, Denmark and in Germany itself. At the Eastern front the fight can continue with an increasing strength though. If I obtain your guarantees, I am ready to take upon myself the obligation not to allow the destruction of Italy. And this is planned by the Fuhrer himself. We received a secret order to destroy all picture galleries and monuments, in other words, to destroy all that belongs to the history of humanity. in spite of a personal danger, I already saved some old pictures. I did hide in my hiding-places picture from the galleries of Ufitstsi, Topati, collection of the coins of the king of Vittorio Emanuel. -There Titsian, Ale Greco, Botticelli among them? -Yes. Ale Greco and Botticelli among them. How much this could cost in US dollars? They do not have a price. These pictures are priceless. I am ready to have a business with you, general Wolf. But you must give me your guarantees too. First of all, you will only have contacts with me and no others, except me, Furthermore, the fact of our negotiations must be known only to the people, who are here present: to you, to me, to your colleague and to my associates. Then we will not be able to conclude peace, Mr. Dulles. You are not yet the US President, ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Место встречи изменить нельзя на английском - текст 12 на английском - текст Отец Сергий на английском - текст Друзья - Сезон 9 на английском - текст Красная жара на английском |
