Response everywhere was encour-

Capt. Silvernail said his interro.

heard about the proposals being
turned down by Hitler.

Il was kept there for two days
while they discussed possible peace
proposals." the officer said. 1.-The
talks revolved around seven points
Il don't remember the seven points
in detail. The chief ones had to dc
with questions of German boun-
daries after the war and what would
be done with the Wehrmacht. They
all were convinced-even Schmitt
who held high party position
that Nazi party control must go and
that the Nazis were through.
He added that Schmitt submitted
his copy of the suggested peace
points to Gestapo Chief Heinrich
Himmler, but that apparently moth
ing ever came of it.
"On October IL Sehmftt told me
he didn't think the peace proposal
point would be accepted by the
Nazi leaders," he said.
Soon after that, I was trans
ferred to another prison."

Whether the Nazis seriously ad-
vanced peace proposals or just faxed
interest in peace to obtain time in
which to rebuild the Siegfried and
Roer River defense lines, it is i'm
possible to say now. 1t can be said,
however, that rumors were afloat in
front-line Army circles last October
that the Nazis had asked for peace
negotiations.
