Dear General Donovan:
In response to your letter of Anril 5, 1945 calling
our attention to the nossibility of obtaining the cocnera-
tion of the Grand Duke Ludwig of Hesse, I want to thank
you for passing this information on to me.
It is our belief, however, that under nresent con-
ditions there is nothing to be gained nolitically by
exnloring this possibility further and we therefore feel
that no commitments of a nolitical chnracter should be
made to the Grand Duke.
Sincerely/yours,
(laMajor General Wil m J. Donovan, Director,

and that the State Department be aslod for advice on the

In view of the above, your personal visit to
Europe is unnecessary as the basic facts can be more quickly

I, SITUATION
1. Attached hereto is all the available data on Ludwig
of Hesse. That portion of the report dealing specifically with
Ludwig is sidelined on page 3 of the report.
2. The writer is in a position to supplement the data
herewith, sem being based on lengthy conversations on the
subject with Lord Auchlnnd Geddes, the latter's son, and two
brothers of Margaret of Hesse, namely Ross Geddes and Alexander
Geddes, both of whom are intimate friends of the writer.
Gonfirmation of the following facts has been received indirectly
from Lord Louis Mountbatten who you will note, is a cousin of
the subjeet, Ludwig of nesse.
(a) After the entire family was killed in the plane
crash in Ostend in Yovember, 1037, and on the date preceding
the marriage, Ross Geddes and Lord Louis discussed for three
hours the question of whether or not he, Ludwig, should join
the Nazi Party which he had previously refused to do in view
01 his outepoken hostility toward a movement which he con-
sidered n "beer hall putsch," However, having observed the
rapid development of the Party and the widespread acceptance
of its principles by the German people, Ludwig felt that
certain long-nosel aristoorsts and prominent German citizens
should join the party in an effort to influence its direction.
Lord Louis and Geddee took the view that his joining would
lend dignity to a dangerous political development. It is
reported that the discussion ended with neither side being
convinced. Subsequent reports from the Geddes family indicated

The Direotor

that Ludwig did not join the party until late 1938 and they
are convinced that the motives Which he expressed,in the above
referrod to conversation prompted him to join it rather than
an acceptance of ita principles and objeetivea.
(b) The "aubjects" of the Grand Duke of Hesse
(which title Ludwig has by heritage acquired) are traditionally
loyal to the Ducal family and it is believed by many. that their
allegiance to the House of Hesse repreaents a far atronger tie
than their allegiance to the party. Furthermore there is an
historical affinity between the Hause of Hesse and the loading
families of Bavaria and it may be aupposed that Ludwig can exert
considerable influence in Bavarian. circles.
(o) Lateat reports from the Geddes family to the
writer indicate that Margaret is supervising a Gorman hospital
at the Country Cantle of the !lasso family at Schloss Wolfsgerten
near Egolsbach, about twenty-five miles north of Darmstadt. Her
famil7 believes that she will remain at her post and that sho
in presumably still at Egelobach.
(d) Returning to the individual, Ludwig, Lord Louis
and the entire Geddes family feel that while ho would never
undertake any activities inimical to what he considered the
boat interest? of Germany, that little persuasion would convince
him that her best Interests lay In the direction of exterminating
those members of the Nazi Party who will have gone underground
rind that he might be willing to take an active part in both
Hesse nnd Bavaria in assisting in the detection and apprehension
of such Individuals.
II. pBJECTIVE
3. To enlist the aid and assietunce of Ludwig of.Hesse
in (a) forming and dirooting a Hessian and Bavarian underground
to preach the policy of cooperation with ocoupying authorities
and dedicated to the deatruetion of the Nazi underground in those
nrens, and (b) to secure information of value to SI and X.2 in
respect of Nazi Part) officials who should be apprehended.

METHOD
4* Peraonal contacts with Col. ?organ and Mr. Allan
Dulles to insure that to his but knowledge and belief the fore?
going statement of the situation is correct, and that contacts
with Ludwig would not jeapordise their own arrangements*
5. Endeavor to locate Margaret, oarrying letters
from her tether, mother and brothers. (It is essential that
the writer, having intimate personal rantionahip with Margaret's
family personally mska the contact.) Prom conversations with
Margaret it la believed that a true statement of Ludwig's
attitude toward (a) the Nazi Perty end (b) the oocupying forces,
may be seourod.
06 Dependent upon information obtained tram Margaret,
to eonteet Ludwig in an effort to enlist his assietanee*
7. General MoOlure (who has already informally indim
acted hie approval of thia project) would be contacted and
clearance aecured from 04 MEP. aith a favorable endorsement
from SHAM', the writer will proceed to Third Army and clear
the project with that Headquarters.
IV. CONCLIWION,
8. It in reeognized that the mission may be a complete
failure in view of the poaelble change in attitude on the part
of Ludwig, but the advantages to be realized if auccosafta appear
to justify the effort. In any event, the writer planned to return
to Wanhington via ETO to analyze MO operations in that theater
and to import directly the view of the Joint Staff Flannera
with reopeet to black propaganda operationa into Germany. The
writer la familiar with the attitude or thin group by virtue
of having nerved on a sub committee thereof. Another miecion is
to cliocuce with Colonel Porgnn and Lt. Col. Holler the plan for
cooperation between SI evid MO which you have reeently approved.

The turn.down on the application for a slot was made by
Mr. Choston during the time of the recent freeze.
We have no slots in this grade left but we can always go
into a minus quantity, of courle, and worry about it later. However,
consideration should be given to the aesirability of curtailing rather
than increasing Continental United States placements. To grant a
slot in this case would be to go in the wrong direction.
I didn't scare up the monkeys by asking Presentation if

My dear General:
I have recently learned that Mr. Robert
0.Held has applied for a post in the Central
European Division of your organization.
I h'Ive known Mr. Held for nearly a year,
ana have known about him for a considerably long-
er period. In the recent months I have had an
opportunity to observe his activities chiefly in
the field of legal research.
I bellev9 Mr. Held to be a legal practitioner
or considerable experience with considerable investig-
atory knowledge. He hau high cultural European hack-
ground, including among his degrees that of the equivalent
in Germany of a lawyer.
I am happy to recommend him for a reuponoible
poHt along the line of hia uoukine.. Hin loyalty to
the ideal o of our democracy its, in wy opinion, unques-
tioned.
