Soon Benesch was reported to be "immediately arriving" in Cairo, soon in Tehran, soon at Stalingrad, soon to Moscow. The Reuter correspondent Alfred Grant now reveals why 64 messages about Mr. Benesch's travel stations were distributed. After that Benesch was used by the British and American security authorities as a "double" to conceal Roosevelt's and Churchill's journeys to Iran. The countless security rules that were taken for these two took place under the pretext of protecting Benesch. Grant also reveals that poor Benesch was actually sent to the roller, but that he was not allowed to stay in Cairo or in Tehran as long as Churchill and Roosevelt were there. Instead, he had to hide in a suburb, only accompanied by his physician Dr. Klinger and a detective. Meanwhile Roosevelt and Churchill lay down in the beds of the big luxury hotels prepared for Benesch, eat the menu ordered in his name and take walks in magnificent limousines, which wore signs under the windshield with the inscription "Reserved for president Benesch", while at the airports of the route Cairo-Teheran great arrangements for the reception of the Liberator bomber "Dr. Benesch and his entourage, which then benefited Roosevelt and Churchill, had to make a month's country trip to Tehran in dusty railway coupés, on mules and military trucks, and sometimes even on foot, because, as Alfred Grant pointed out, the Anglo-American security authorities of Benesch could only fulfil their camouflage task of covering Roosevelt's and Churchil's world journey. Grant notes, however, that the victim asked for by Benesch is not so big, because the president is a bad plumber who is constantly getting air disease. - 2 -
