Schellenberg to come here.
l sent Wolf to Bern
to contact Dulles.
l think it's wise.
lt's insane, Schellenberg.
lt's insane and adventurous.
You mean the failure
of the whole operation?
l mean all the set
of possibilities.
lt's you.
lt's all your work.
You forced me to make this step.
lf Wolf fails,
all the materials will come to us.
First they can get to the Vienna man.
Sorry?
To Kaltenbrunner.
And l don't know whether these
materials will go to Bormann or to me.
And you know what Bormann will do
as soon as he gets
such kind of documents.
And imagine the Fuhrer's reaction
when he sees everything
with Bormann's comments.
l analyzed
this possibility too.
Which possibility?
l analyzed the possibility of Bormann
taking hold
of these documents.
First, Wolf has to talk
with Dulles
not on behalf of you, or of himself,
but on behalf of Kesselring.
He's subordinate to him in ltaly.
He's Deputy Commander
in ltaly and is not
directly subordinate to you.
lt's fine.
Did you think of it before,
or it has just occurred to you?
lt occurred to me as soon as
l found out about Wolf's travel.
- Sit down.
- Thank you.
- You can smoke.
- Thanks.
Will you allow me?
Himmler knew that Schellenberg
smoked only <>
and didn't like any other cigarettes.
After America had become
engaged in the war, he asked him:
<>
Schellenberg smiled and said:
<>
Himmler didn't forget about it.
l analyzed all the possibilities
including the unpleasant ones.
Meaning?
What if Kesselring,
or worse,
his patron Gцring,
will prove their alibi
in this case?
We'll be able to prevent it.
Take care of it in advance.
Of course, we'll do it.
But you were right when you
had led out of this game
your deputy, Kaltenbrunner.
He can give us this opportunity.
He and Mueller.
What do you suggest?
l suggest to kill two birds
with one stone.
lt's impossible.
- Actually, l'm not a hunter.
- Neither am l.
The Fuhrer says that the relations among
the allies are on the verge of rupture.
Consequently, the rupture among them
is one of our main goals.
And?
l cannotjudge what Stalin will do,
if he finds out about the separate
negotiations held by
SS general Wolf.
l cannot say
what he will do.
But l have no doubt that
he'll take measures.
Thus, is Wolf's travel,
coded by us as
big misinformation for Stalin,
for the Fuhrer's good or not?
l mean our legend,
our negotiations are bluff for Stalin.
That's what we'll tell the Fuhrer,
in case of failure.
l'll think about it.
Will you be interested in details,
or l'll take care of them?
You'd better do it.
Actually, there shouldn't be
any details in this case.
What do you exactly mean?
First of all, a cover operation.
We should send
some dummy, not ours,
to negotiate with the West.
Then we'll give the materials
about this man to the Fuhrer.
ln case of necessity, it will be
the victory of our intelligence.
We frustrated the enemy's plans.
That's exactly what Goebbels is saying.
Yes?
Secondly, thousands of eyes will
watch Wolf in Switzerland.
Among those eyes
there might be our agents who'll
send a message here.
Who will get this message?
Who will inform?
Your agent or Mueller's?
An intellectual who objectively
sizes up the situation, or
a blind fanatic
like Kaltenbrunner.
Consequently, l'd like to have
among the eyes
of the Western allies who will be
watching Wolf,
5-6 pairs of my eyes.
Wolf won't know about our people.
The agents will send information
directly to me.
And finally,
there's the third alibi.
ln case of failure,
we'll sacrifice Wolf, but
all the materials concerning his behavior
will be a part of our alibi.
YOUR alibi.
Yours.
Who do you want to send?
For the first task
Schellenberg chose Stirlitz
with his pastor.
Do you have any concrete candidatures?
l've got very good candidates.
But l
