hvorvidt saadan Redegørelse kan publiceres i nær Fremtid er en helt anden Sag. I denne Forbindelse bliver jeg stadig spurgt om hvad Baggrunden og Hensigten var med Dit og Weizsäckers Besøg i København i 1941, her er det meget vanskeligt for mig at give et Svar fordi som Du ved af vores Samtaler i Tisvilde baade kort efter Krigen og under Dit og Din Families Sommerophold i Liseleje fik [jeg] en helt anden Opfattelse af Besøget end den som Du har beskrevet i Jungks Bog. Jeg husker meget bestemt hvordan Samtalerne forløb under hvilke jeg naturligt indtog en meget tilbageholdende Stilling, da Du <uden forberedelse, straks> meddelte mig at det var Din Overbevisning at Krigen, hvis det varede tilstrækkelig længe vilde blive afgjort ved Atomvaaben, og <jeg fik> ikke saa meget som en Antydning <af> at Du og Dine Venner bestræbte Jer i anden Retning. Jeg var dengang fuldstændig afskaaret fra Forbindelse med England og U.S.A. og havde ikke nogen Anelse om de store Bestræbelser som der allerede var paabegyndt og havde før jeg selv flygtede fra Danmark ikke nogen Anelse om de store Bestræbelser, der der var paabegyndt.

the extent to which such an account can be published in the near future is quite another matter. In this connection I am frequently asked about the background and purpose of the visit by you and Weizsäcker to Copenhagen in 1941. It is very difficult for me to give an answer because, as you know from our conversations in Tisvilde, both shortly after the war and during you and your family’s summer stay in Liseleje, [I] got a completely different impression of the visit than the one you have described in Jungk’s book. I remember quite definitely the course of these conversations, during which I naturally took a very cautious position, when <without preparation, immediately> you informed me that it was your conviction that the war, if it lasted sufficiently long, would be decided with atomic weapons, and <I did> not sense even the slightest hint that you and your friends were making efforts in another direction. At that time I was completely cut off from any connection with England and the U.S.A. and had no idea of the great efforts that had already been started there and, before I escaped from Denmark, had no idea of the great efforts that had been started there.
