English Translation

10 -4 B.lr. 1 contained list of putschists has been presented to me. I have read the list, which contains 2o names. I know only the frihere Prussian state minister P o p itz. If in the list is "of Popiz" this must be a mistake, because Popfz is not noble. I know Steateminieter Popiz and the President of Government Count von der S o h u l e n b u r g; the latter from his capacity as President of the Government in Wroclaw. I did not talk to him about private traffic. I spoke to the State Min. Popts about the last Hal in April or May last year. It was the super- nalms of the Prussian cadastral administration into the empire. I made a note about this discussion, which is located at the survey files of the division VI. From this it shows the exact date. Soit thisom situation I did not see or speak to Min. Popigz, nor did I deal with him in writing or through third parties. I saw the President of the Government Count von der Schulonburg to the last Kal when he moved into the Wehrmacht. Vir met at a Mittagosson on Potsdamer Platz. It must have been before or during the Prankreich campaign, i.e. in the Prihjahr 194o. I came to him already because of my official activity in the Reichsimnenministerium. Last year I had a long telephone conversation with Count von der Sohulenburg, when I was in the service of the General von Unruh and his predecessor. On this occasion Count von von der Schulenburg made a report. Since then I have no more points of contact with Count of der Schulenburg. I don't know the other personalities. They have not been in direct or indirect contact with me either. Only the names of Witzleben, Halder, Höppner, Sehaeht, Gesaler, Gördeler and Pellgiobel are mentioned to me. I know the officers of connections to the OKH very above all the Preiherrn von Lüning, where I do not know which of the two brothers I am about to go. Of the names given to me, the name Oberstloutnant fills me
