“Göring: ‘Then our troops will cross the border today.’
“Keppler: ‘Yes.’
“Göring: ‘Well, and he should send the telegram as soon as possible.’
“Keppler: ‘Well, send the telegram to Seyss-Inquart in the office of the Federal Chancellor.’
“Göring: ‘Please show him the text of the telegram and do tell him that we are asking him—well, he does not even need to send the telegram. All he needs to do is to say, “Agreed.” ’
“Keppler: ‘Yes.’
“Göring: ‘He should call me at the Führer’s or at my place. Well, good luck. Heil Hitler.’ ”
Well, of course, he did not need to send the telegram because Göring wrote the telegram. He already had it. It must be recalled that in the first conversation, Part A, held at 3:05 p.m., Göring had requested Seyss-Inquart to send the telegram agreed upon, but now the matter was so urgent that Göring dictated the exact wording of the telegram over the telephone. And an hour later, at 9:54 p.m. a conversation between Dr. Dietrich in Berlin and Keppler in Vienna went on as follows, reading from Part M:
“Dietrich: ‘I need the telegram urgently.’
“Keppler: ‘Tell the General Field Marshal that Seyss-Inquart agrees.’
