Memorandum to General Eisenhower

Re: Removal of Property from the Russian Occupied Zone by the American Armies.

I am enclosing you an informal translation from Russian of a report by Marshal Zhukov to Generalissimo Stalin.2 I would appreciate it very much if you would investigate these charges and report to me.3

Sincerely yours,
