| Description | Recalls interview with Gen. [Karl] Ernst, head of S.A. and S.S. in Berlin area; and personal executioner for Nazi regime; had talked with Goering protesting treatment of American citizens and he suggested Messersmith talk with Ernst, arranging interview for next day; Ernst came to Consulate; talked with him alone; told him frankly that he might consider himself powerful, but that he was powerful in only a small area, that America and some of Germany's neighboring countries would not stand long for some of the things he was doing; Ernst reddened but made no reply; attacks on Americans did decrease after the interview; warned Ernst as he was leaving that if he were not prudent he might end up against the wall; that is what happened to him; he was one of those killed in the purge of June 1934. | en_US |
