the beginning of February—that is, while my
discussions were taking place. The object of the
expedition was to collect and send home the
numerous Swedish-born women who had married
Germans and now found themselves homeless and
with no near relations. This gave me an excellent
pretext for a visit to Berlin. On my departure by
plane on February 16th it was officially announced
that I was going to inspect the Red Cross
expedition to ascertain if it required reinforcing in order
to carry out its task. The real object of my visit
was, of course, to try to meet Himmler and get
his consent to the internment in Sweden, not only
of the Norwegian, but also of the Danish
prisoners in Germany. Before my departure I had
submitted my plans not only to the Swedish
Government, but also to the President of the Swedish
Red Cross, Prince Karl. He had expressed the
opinion that the scheme must embrace Danes as
well as Norwegians. The field of operations had
thus been considerably widened.
