said that the German position in
Europe, and particularly in Italy,
was hopeless, and that he was in
terested in getting authorized Ger
man representatives to Caserta as
quickly as possible for parleys If the
Germans wanted peace, but only II
they were ready to accept uncondi-
tional surrender.
Gen. Wolff replied that Marshal
Kesselring had just been recalled to
Germany and that it was not known
whether he would return to his Ital-
ian command. This, he said, made
things more difficult, as he could not
tell how a new commander might
feel about surrendering. However,
he would Bee what he could do.
(Field Marshal Kesselring had, in
fact, assumed command on the
western front. Col. Gen. Heinrich
Won Wellington was to be his sue
cessor in italy,
Agrees to Another Meeting.
Gen. Wolff said he wanted to save
Germany from further destruction
and bloodshed, since the war was
lost.
He agreed to another meeting in
six days.
He was worried about the possbil-
ity that Hitler and Himmler might
find out what was going on. He
feared they might drop in for an
inspection tour. Gen. Wolff said
that when he last saw Hitler and
Himmler, in early February, he told
them of the general hopelessness"
of the Italian situation, but received
no definite instructions.
Walking back to their house after
the conference, Gems Lemnitzer and
Airey were doubtful that much had
been accomplished. They were still
not certain the German was serious
They decided to return to the large
Swiss city and to wait there for the
March "a meeting.
Wolff Fails to Show Up.
The two generals and the other
Allied agents. taking their lead
from Alfred Hitchcock, arranged to
travel back to the city separately.
BY a sinister coincidence, however,
almost all of them turned up in the
same coach Of midnight train. In
Caserta now they call that train
the CLOAK and dagger special"
The wait was agonizing. March
"a passed with no word from Gen.
Wolf. Five more days, and reports
suggested that nothing would ma
terialize. They heard on March 80
that Gen. Wolff had returned to his
at Fasano. on the
shores of Lake Garda. Then they
heard that another meeting would
be arranged shortly, so they headed
back toward Locarno. Word came
on March 81 that Gen. Wolff would
meet them the next day
On April they were told that
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-05-07

that only one course could end the
war in Italy: They must come to
Caserta and surrender uncondition-
ally. Allied headquarters, they were
to say, was not concerned with poll
tics and would discuss surrender
purely on a military basis.
In addition, Allied representatives
were to try to establish a direct
channel of communications between
Allied headquarters in Caserta and
German headquarters in Northern
Italy.
Generals Used DISCUSSES.
Gems. Lemnitzer and Airey went
to Lyons, France, on March l3,
spent the night there, changed to
civilian clothes and headed by au-
tomobile for the Swiss border. Dur
ing the drive, Gen. Lemnitzer spent
10 minutes studying up on his as
sumed identity-the generals took
their new names from the, "dogtags"
of two American soldiers they had
met in France. Both passed as
American civilians and proceeded
to a large Swiss city,
AS there was no direct communi-
cation with Gen. VOLTS headquar-
tiers, the planning of the meeting
was carefully carried out by courier
Intermediates. 1t had to be care
fully arranged so as not to attract
public attention, for the press was
full of rumors OF peace negotiations.
Meanwhile, the generals had made
themselves as inconspicuous as pos
sible.
Three days and word came they
could probably meet Gen. Wolff
near Locarno, on the Italian border
Merely Buying a Dog.
Two quiet Americans showed up
at Locarno next day, taking small
house nearby. So far as the neigh
bors were concerned, they were
trying to buy dog. They did buy
one: a daschund named Fritzel.
The Swiss saw them walking around
the town, exercising their pet and
buying dog biscuits, and found them
neither exciting nor mysterious
Fritzel is still with Gen. Airey in
Caserta.
The Germans, who had mean
while been slowly making their way
toward the border from their head
quarters 100 miles to The south, ar
rived in Switzerland March 10. Re-
ports of first conversations between
Gen. Wolff and Allied agents who
met him so discouraged Gems Lem
nitzer and Airey that they Won
dered for while whether they
should see the SIS commander at all
Marshal Alexander had instructed
them not to haggle with the Ger
mans.
They decided, however, that it
was worth trying. A brief and
formal meeting held that afternoon
lasted exactly 80 minutes.
Wolff Cites Difficulties.

duced to Gen. Wolff merely as

break OIL negotiations without more
ado. That did 1t.
Allied headquarters settled down
to wait while the German repre-
sentatives made their way back to
their hes dquarters. Everybody
knew they might never get there, for
our troops were closing in on areas
they had to pass through.
No one could be sure that Gems
Won Wellington and Wolff would
honor the signatures of their repre-
sentatives. Meanwhile. the slight
est security break could upset the
apple cart.
Alexander Wired German General.
Taking advantage of an elaborate
code system which had been devised
for communicating by radio between
Allied forces headquarters and Ger
man headquarters, Marshal Alex
ander sent long message to Gen.
Won Wellington on April 30. He
said that the German representa-
tives had left Caserta the day be-
fore. adding:
In view of the rapid advance of
the Allied armies from the north
toward Innsbruck. it appears that
they may have difficulty in reach
ing you with the instrument of sur
render signed by them here. ]
therefore inform you that these
officers signed honorable terms OF
unconditional surrender of all
armed forces, land, sea and air
under your command and control
to take effect at 1900 hours, Green
wich Mean Time, on 2 May.
II by chance these officers do not
reach you in time, ask you to honor
their agreement to avoid further
useless bloodshed by ordering the
surrender agreed upon. If you can
get orders to your troops before the
agreed time, I urge yea 20 end the
useless struggle hy dong so at once
On May l, word came to Allied
Forces headquarters that the two
German delegates had reached thei,
headquarters, and that the surrender
would be carried out.
On the following day, as had beer
agreed, German commanders began
broadcasting in the. clear to theil
troops to cease hostilities and tt
surrender. Thereupon Marshal Alex.
ander informed Gen. Wciff that he
was announcing the German capitu-
lation.
