PS-2949: Transcripts of GÖring’s telephone conversations with Seyss-inquart, Ribbentrop and others, and of Hitler’s with count Phillipp of Hesse, 11 to 13 March 1938, concerning the resignation of the Schuschnigg government and the German March into Austria
PS-2949: Top Secret Report from the Institute for Research to General Field Marshal Goering, enclosing copies of his telephone conversation.
Top secret report from the Institute for Research to General Field Marshall Goering inclosing transcripts of telephone conversations held between 11 March 1938 and 14 March 1938. Part "M" of this document, found on page 171 of Document Book #2, is a record of a conversation between the defendants Keppler and DIETRICH on 11 March 1938. This explicitly sets out in DIETRICH's own words his knowledge of and participation in preparations for Austrian aggression. This fact is clearly established in this conversation which deals with the famous telegram which Goering had suggested, but which was never sent (IMT, supre), "requesting the German Government to send troops into Austria to put down disorder". It will be recalled that in the first conversation (Part -1, page 157, Document Book #21, held at 3:05 p.m. Goering had requested Seyss-Inquart to send the telegram agreed upon. At 8:48 p.m. the matter became so urgent that Goering dictated the exact wording of the telegram over the telephone.
