1. The conversation took place at the headquarters of the Polish Delegation, 10 Domgasse, Babelsberg. While Lane was meeting with Modzelewski, two members of his staff, Gerald Keith and C. Burke Elbrick, had a separate conversation with Tadeusz Żebrowski.

The time of these conversations is drawn from Mikołajczyk’s diary of the Conference.
