1082. At informal meeting of ACC Dec 10 plan of Hungarian Govt for removal German minority was approved in principle. It was [Page 1323] decided to start deportations as soon as Hungarian Govt could arrange details first train with approximately 1,000 to leave on or about Dec. 15.
This apparently is not in accord with last sentence of Berlin’s despatch No. 1368 of Nov. 23 to Dept.
Hungarian Govt suggested 50,000 would be ready to move from county of Tolna and Budapest area during month of Dec.
Sent to Dept; repeated to Berlin as No. 24.
