Note by Con Cremin regarding Drancy and Vittel Camps

I called to see Herr von Thadden on the 4th inst. in connection with our inquiry concerning the Walkowska's. (Note of 29th June.).¹ He told me that he had as yet got no news of these people that an inquiry had been sent to the authorities of the camp OSWIECIM² and that they had replied that they were making inquiries but that no other reply had since been received.

Herr von Thadden also told me that he had just got a reply in regard to our inquiry about members of the Rottenbebu family (Dept. tel. 148).³ He said that no persons of this name figure on the lists of the inmates of the camps at Vittel or Drancy.

I asked him whether he had got any further news beyond that given to me on the telephone on the 28th Sept. concerning the Jews mentioned in our list of the 15th Aug. He said that he had not, that some of the inmates of the Drancy and Vittel camps had been brought to Germany before the camps were disbanded but that the Foreign Office has no information as to what Jews were removed. He will let us know when he gets any information on the point.
