Dearg code telegram from Con Cremin to Joseph P. Walshe (Dublin)
(No. 96) (2/12)

Your telegram 120.¹ Foreign Office now states that the 200 Polish families you have in mind cannot be traced that there were 77 individual Polish Jews in Vittel who are now in camp in eastern Europe and that only other Jews in Vittel are citizens of other including South American countries who are being kept for exchange against German civil internees. The official concerned says that if we want a definite reply about visas we must give particulars which will enable the families concerned to be identified. He adds that German authorities have been treating application with all possible good will because it comes from Ireland instead of as would be done normally refusing it out of hand.
NOTE: Informed in above sense by Herr von Thadden when I called on him on 30th June.
