"At the close of last year we received the message that the King of
England has expressed himself to be very dissatisfied over the official
press agency. The visit of the Duke of Kent to Munich (March 1937) had made matters
still worse pertaining to the King's views on the press agency.
Consequently we one day received the request from London to make
possible that our English agent take a trip to London in order to orient
the Duke of Kent in every detail pertaining to national socialism in
order to convey this information to the King. R. went with me to London
exactly as requested and there had an over three hour long unobserved
conference with the Duke of Kent, who then conveyed this to the King of
England. One can assume that this instruction has served its purpose and exerted a
definite strengthening pressure for change of cabinet and head it in a
direction of closer cordiality for Germany."
