The Consul General at Algiers (Cole) to the War Department 94

No. 694. From Murphy. Vice Consul Reid learns from good source at Casablanca of the interception of a message from German Armistice Commission recommending the immediate occupation of French Morocco and estimating that four armored divisions would be required for the task. This is along the lines of other messages said to have been sent by the German Consul General at Casablanca urging German military intervention in French Morocco. [Murphy.]
