(f) In a letter of gratitude to Hitler dated 29 December 1943, Krupp stated:
“* * * By this, you have made a wish come true, which my wife and I had had for years, and thus relieved our hearts of great worry over the future of the Krupp works.”
* * * * * *
“My wife and I, as well as the whole family, are deeply grateful to you for this proof of your confidence. * * *”
“Our special thanks go to you, Mein Fuehrer, also for the great honour and recognition which you have awarded, in the introduction to your decree, to 130 years of the work of Krupps, the work of Krupps done by many generations of faithful followers, and steered and directed by 4 generations of the family Krupp.” (D-135)
